Sevmia Cost in Ontario — 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 and the first generic semaglutide approved in Canada for chronic weight management. The approval is national, so Ontario pharmacies will be eligible to stock Sevmia once Apotex begins distribution; no Ontario-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 Ontario or any other province, so this guide cannot state one. Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) coverage status is also not yet determined — public formulary listing decisions are made independently by the province and typically follow well after Health Canada's regulatory approval, as was the case with the earlier generic semaglutide approvals. Check the Ontario Ministry of Health drug coverage tool directly once Sevmia is listed, rather than assuming coverage.

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, Ontario's lowest price on file for Apo-Semaglutide (Apotex's earlier Ozempic-referencing generic) is $88 per pen at Costco Pharmacy — 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 Ontario 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 Ontario. 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 Ontario, the earlier Apotex generic that is already tracked with live prices.

Pricing isn't the only open question here — our guide to getting generic semaglutide prescribed online in Canada explains how a prescription for Sevmia or Apo-Semaglutide gets written in Ontario, prices notwithstanding.
