What does generic Ozempic cost in Quebec right now?

Generic Ozempic in Quebec costs $99 per pen at Costco Pharmacy (updated October 15, 2026). The product is Apo-Semaglutide, a generic manufactured by Apotex. The Costco price was first reported by a subscriber at Costco Laval. Costco locations across Quebec including Laval, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Montreal (Anjou and Pointe-Claire), and Quebec City (Sainte-Foy) are stocking both the 2 mg and 4 mg injection pens at the same per-pen price. The lowest price on file in each province is $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; Quebec's gap is rooted in its regulated pharmacy pricing model, where manufacturer-pharmacy commercial arrangements and dispensing fee structures differ from other provinces. Other Quebec pharmacy chains including Jean Coutu, Familiprix, Pharmaprix, Brunet, and Uniprix also carry Apo-Semaglutide at comparable or slightly higher prices.

Quebec has a unique drug coverage structure: the RAMQ public drug plan is mandatory for any Quebec resident not covered by a private or employer-sponsored drug plan. Unlike most provinces where public coverage is optional or income-gated, Quebecers must enroll in RAMQ if they lack workplace coverage. Whether Apo-Semaglutide is currently listed on the RAMQ formulary is subject to change as new generics are reviewed by INESSS (Institut national d'excellence en santé et en services sociaux, formerly the Conseil du médicament). For the most current listing status, visit ramq.gouv.qc.ca or ask your pharmacist. Private plan reimbursement depends on your specific plan — confirm directly with your plan administrator.

Coverage questions aside, you still need a prescription before any Quebec pharmacy will fill this — our guide to getting generic semaglutide prescribed online in Canada explains the routes available and what a pharmacist can substitute at the counter.

Stock availability may vary by location in the weeks following the May 2026 launch. Call your local Jean Coutu to confirm stock before making the trip.
Why is generic Ozempic slightly more expensive in Quebec than Ontario?
Quebec operates under a regulated pharmacy pricing model that differs from other provinces. Under the Loi 41 framework and historical pricing reviews by the Conseil du médicament (now INESSS), manufacturer-pharmacy commercial arrangements are negotiated differently, and dispensing fee structures follow distinct rules. Combined, these factors mean generics in Quebec often run approximately 10–15% higher than in Ontario or BC. The gap between the provinces' lowest prices on file ($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) reflects this provincial market structure. See the national price guide for a full provincial comparison.
How do I find an English-speaking pharmacy carrying generic Ozempic in Quebec?
Costco and major chains such as Jean Coutu, Pharmaprix, and Familiprix have English-speaking pharmacists available, particularly in Anglophone-majority neighborhoods. In the Montreal area, Pointe-Claire, Beaconsfield, and Dollard-des-Ormeaux have strong English-language pharmacy services. Call ahead to confirm both stock availability and language preference at your chosen location.
What is the dispensing fee at Quebec pharmacies for generic Ozempic?
At Costco Pharmacy, the per-pen price on file includes dispensing — our database records no separate dispensing fee for Costco. At other Quebec pharmacies such as Jean Coutu, Familiprix, and Pharmaprix, dispensing fees are set individually by each pharmacy and charged per fill. Always confirm the total cost including dispensing before you fill.
