Generic Ozempic Cost in Alberta — 2026

Generic Ozempic in Alberta costs $91 per pen at Costco Pharmacy as of May 2026. The product is <a href="/drugs/apo-semaglutide">Apo-Semaglutide</a>, an authorized 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 at $91 — $3 higher than Ontario and BC ($88) and $8 lower than Quebec ($99), making Alberta's Costco price the smallest provincial variance in the country. 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 is unique among provinces in not offering a universal public drug plan for working-age adults. Most Albertans rely on employer-sponsored group coverage or pay out of pocket. Alberta Blue Cross is the primary private and non-group plan administrator in the province; whether Apo-Semaglutide is listed under a given Blue Cross plan depends on the specific plan tier — check <a href="https://www.ab.bluecross.ca" rel="noopener noreferrer">ab.bluecross.ca</a> or your plan documents for current formulary status. Alberta Health's Non-Group Benefits program and programs for seniors and AISH recipients may cover semaglutide for eligible individuals; listing status for the new generic is evolving.
