Generic Ozempic Cost in Ontario — 2026

Generic Ozempic in Ontario costs $88 per pen at Costco Pharmacy locations as of July 2026. The product is Apo-Semaglutide, a generic manufactured by Apotex. Costco locations across Ontario — including Etobicoke, Scarborough, Mississauga, North York, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Ottawa, Hamilton, and London — are stocking both the 2 mg and 4 mg injection pens at the same $88 per-pen price. Other major Ontario pharmacies including Walmart Pharmacy, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Rexall also carry the generic at slightly higher prices. Telehealth providers such as Felix dispense it province-wide at $149 per pen.

Coverage through the Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) program is evolving as the generic rolls out. Apo-Semaglutide is a recently launched generic; check the Ontario Ministry of Health drug coverage tool for current formulary status rather than relying on word of mouth. Private employer and group plans vary by plan administrator — confirm directly with your insurer. Where Apo-Semaglutide is listed as interchangeable on the Ontario Formulary, a pharmacist may substitute it at the counter unless the prescriber has noted "no substitution" on the prescription.

None of this matters without a valid prescription in hand first — see our guide to getting generic semaglutide prescribed online in Canada for the routes Ontario residents actually have, from a family doctor to telehealth.
