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. See the full regulatory timeline and sourcing on our generic Wegovy & semaglutide approval tracker.

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 generic-alert page). 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: 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, the lowest price on file in each province for Apo-Semaglutide (Apotex's earlier Ozempic-referencing generic) is $83.22 at Walmart Pharmacy in Quebec, $84.65 at London Drugs in British Columbia, $88 at Costco Pharmacy in Ontario, $91 at Costco Pharmacy in Alberta and $103.16 at Sherwood Co-op Pharmacy in Saskatchewan. Apo-Semaglutide's first price on file 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. In the meantime, you can join the free alert to be notified by email when Sevmia prices go live, or check our companion guide to generic Ozempic (Apo-Semaglutide) pricing, the earlier Apotex generic that is already tracked with live prices.

While a verified Sevmia price isn't on file yet, our guide to getting generic semaglutide prescribed online in Canada covers how a prescription for either generic actually gets written, so you're ready the moment pricing lands.
