What does generic Ozempic cost in British Columbia right now?

Generic Ozempic in British Columbia costs $88 per pen at Costco Pharmacy (updated October 16, 2026). The product is Apo-Semaglutide, a generic manufactured by Apotex. The Costco price was first reported by a subscriber at a BC Costco location. Costco locations across BC including Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and Surrey are stocking both the 2 mg and 4 mg injection pens at the same per-pen price. Other major BC pharmacy chains including London Drugs, Save-On-Foods Pharmacy, and Shoppers Drug Mart also carry the generic at slightly higher prices.

BC's public drug program, PharmaCare, has several plans, and one person can be covered by more than one (gov.bc.ca, Who we cover). Fair PharmaCare is one of them: coverage is based on income, and it starts once you register (Fair PharmaCare, gov.bc.ca). PharmaCare pays for generic semaglutide, as it does for Ozempic, through Special Authority, a request your prescriber sends (see Ozempic coverage in BC). To look up a specific product, use the PharmaCare Formulary Search. Private and extended health plans vary by plan administrator — confirm directly with your insurer.

A prescription is the one thing every BC pharmacy on this list will ask for — our guide to getting generic semaglutide prescribed online in Canada covers how to get one, and what to watch out for along the way.
