Sevmia Cost in Canada — 2026

Sevmia is a generic semaglutide made by Apotex (developed with Orbicular Pharmaceutical Technologies), authorized by Health Canada on June 29, 2026. It is the first generic version of Wegovy and the first generic semaglutide approved in Canada for chronic weight management — referencing Wegovy (Novo Nordisk) as its brand comparator. It is the third generic semaglutide cleared in Canada overall: the earlier two, Dr. Reddy's (April 28, 2026) and Apotex's own Apo-Semaglutide Injection (May 1, 2026), reference Ozempic and cover the Type 2 diabetes indication only.

No Sevmia price has been published yet, so this guide cannot state one. What we can say, based on published, attributed facts: Health Canada notes that generic medicines are typically 45–90% cheaper than the brand once competition builds. Separately, Canada's pan-Canadian Tiered Pricing Framework — administered through the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA) — caps generic list prices in steps as more manufacturers enter a market: 75% of the brand list price for the first three months with one generic on market, 55% after three months, 50% with two generics, and 35% once three or more generics are dispensing (full detail and the underlying brand reference figure are on the <a href="/generic-alert">generic-alert page</a>). Those are list-price caps for public formularies, not retail counter prices, and they describe the framework in general — not a Sevmia-specific figure.

As an honest brand anchor while Sevmia pricing is pending: brand-name Wegovy currently runs $270–$550 at the Canadian pharmacies we track (verified pharmacy prices, updated regularly — see live figures on the <a href="/drugs/wegovy">Wegovy price comparison</a>). For comparison, our tracked Apo-Semaglutide (Apotex's earlier Ozempic-referencing generic) currently runs $88 in Ontario and British Columbia, $91 in Alberta, and $99 in Quebec at Costco Pharmacy — the first tracked price for that generic appeared roughly three weeks after its Health Canada approval, which gives a rough sense of typical approval-to-first-price timing, though Sevmia's own rollout may differ.

We track pharmacy prices across Canada daily via our automated scraper and manual verification, and this guide is built to update itself the instant a verified Sevmia price is confirmed — no manual rewrite needed.
