Generic Ozempic Cost in Alberta — 2026

Generic Ozempic in Alberta costs $91 per pen at Costco Pharmacy (updated October 15, 2026). The product is Apo-Semaglutide, a generic manufactured by Apotex. Pricing was first confirmed by a subscriber receipt from Costco Medicine Hat and has since been verified at Alberta locations including Calgary (NE, SE, Heritage Meadows, and Beacon Hill), Edmonton, and Lethbridge. Both the 2 mg and 4 mg injection pens are priced the same. The lowest price on file in each province: $88 at Costco Pharmacy in British Columbia and Ontario, $91 at Costco Pharmacy in Alberta, $99 at Costco Pharmacy in Quebec and $103.16 at Sherwood Co-op Pharmacy in Saskatchewan. Albertans outside Costco's reach can find Apo-Semaglutide at Save-On Foods Pharmacy, Sobeys Pharmacy, Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Loblaws Real Canadian Superstore Pharmacy, and Walmart Pharmacy at comparable or slightly higher prices.

Alberta Blue Cross runs the government's Non-Group Coverage and Coverage for Seniors plans. Non-Group Coverage "is available to all Alberta residents under 65 years of age and their dependants," for a monthly premium (alberta.ca, Non-Group Coverage), and Coverage for Seniors gives people 65 and older premium-free drug coverage (alberta.ca, Coverage for Seniors). These plans cover the drugs on the Alberta Drug Benefit List (alberta.ca). Apo-Semaglutide was listed on the Alberta Drug Benefit List effective July 1, 2026, as a step therapy / special authorization drug, the same as Ozempic (Alberta Drug Benefit List update). That means the plan checks your claims history or needs a request from your prescriber before it pays (see Ozempic coverage in Alberta). If you have a private or employer plan, check that plan's drug list with your insurer.

Alberta is also the only province where a pharmacist can prescribe it directly rather than just renew it — our guide to getting generic semaglutide prescribed online in Canada covers that route alongside family doctors, walk-ins, and telehealth.
