Sevmia Cost in British Columbia — 2026

Sevmia is a generic semaglutide made by Apotex (developed with Orbicular Pharmaceutical Technologies), authorized by Health Canada on June 29, 2026 — the first generic version of Wegovy to be approved in Canada. The approval is national, so British Columbia pharmacies will be eligible to stock Sevmia once Apotex begins distribution; no British Columbia-specific rollout date has been announced. See the full regulatory timeline and sourcing on our generic Wegovy & semaglutide approval tracker.

No Sevmia price has been published for British Columbia or any other province, so this guide cannot state one. Sevmia is not in BC PharmaCare's Formulary Search, which includes every medication PharmaCare covers, so PharmaCare does not cover it at this point (PharmaCare Formulary Search). 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, and its coverage is based on income (Fair PharmaCare, gov.bc.ca). Check the Formulary Search again before you assume coverage either way.

As an honest brand-price anchor while Sevmia pricing is pending: across the Canadian pharmacies we list, a 0.25 mg pen of brand-name Wegovy costs $297–$550 (drug price, before dispensing fees; see the table by province on the Wegovy price comparison). For comparison, British Columbia's lowest price on file for Apo-Semaglutide (Apotex's earlier Ozempic-referencing generic) is $84.65 per pen at London Drugs — the local floor set by an earlier Apotex generic, not a Sevmia figure. Health Canada also notes generics are typically 45–90% cheaper than brand once competition builds, and Canada's pan-Canadian Tiered Pricing Framework caps generic list prices as more manufacturers enter a market (75% of brand for the first three months with one generic, 55% after, 50% with two generics, 35% with three or more — full detail on the generic-alert page).

We track British Columbia pharmacy prices daily via our automated scraper and manual verification, and this guide is built to update itself the instant a verified Sevmia price is confirmed in British Columbia. In the meantime, join the free alert to be notified by email when Sevmia prices go live, or see our companion guide to generic Ozempic (Apo-Semaglutide) pricing in British Columbia, the earlier Apotex generic that is already tracked with live prices.

Same for British Columbia: pricing is pending, but our guide to getting generic semaglutide prescribed online in Canada already covers how a prescription for either generic gets written, including British Columbia's pharmacist-prescribing rules.
