Cash totals include each pharmacy's dispensing fee and assume no coverage. Rows marked Audited come from a published August 2026 retail phone audit; rows marked Estimated are modelled from list pricing and each chain's fee, so confirm those before relying on one. The savings-card column applies Ozempic savings card to that same total, and programmes generally cannot be combined with public plans such as ODB, NIHB or BC PharmaCare. Western-Canada-only chains appear in BC, AB, MB and SK.

City figures resolve to the cheapest counter in that market, including its dispensing fee. Chain coverage differs by city, which is usually why a city ranks where it does.
MississaugaCheapest in ON
Cheaper than neighbouring Toronto on identical product. Four Costco pharmacies inside the city limits is the reason; worth the drive from west-end Toronto.

Toronto#10 of 10
Most pharmacies of any Canadian city and not the cheapest. No Costco pharmacy operates inside the city limits, so mail order beats every walk-in counter here; and downtown Shoppers locations carry the highest dispensing fees we record in Ontario.

Three ways to pay less in Ontario
Change pharmacy
Same drug, same dose, same country: Costco Pharmacy and Shoppers Drug Mart are $52 apart on a single month of Ozempic. This is the cheapest change to make and it takes one phone call.
See the table above →Switch to a generic
Apo-Semaglutide is Health Canada approved and lands at $92 at Costco Pharmacy. If you are paying cash for brand semaglutide, this is the single biggest line-item change available to you. It is the same figure the Ozempic card reaches without switching product, so take one or the other, not both.
Generic cost guide →Use the savings card
The Ozempic savings card is applied at the counter with nothing to print, taking Ozempic to $92: the same price as the generic, while staying on the brand.
All savings cards →Common questions about GLP-1 prices in Ontario
Which pharmacy is cheapest for Ozempic in Ontario?
Costco Pharmacy, at $262 for a 1 mg pen including its $4 dispensing fee. That row is from a published August 2026 retail phone audit. Walmart Pharmacy is next at $274.
Does Ontario have a Costco pharmacy?
Yes. Costco Pharmacy dispenses in Ontario, membership is not required to use the pharmacy, and its $4 dispensing fee is the lowest of any chain we track. It is usually the cheapest counter in the province for brand and generic semaglutide alike.
Is generic semaglutide available in Ontario?
Yes. Apo-Semaglutide is Health Canada approved and dispensed in Ontario. The cheapest counter we track for it is Costco Pharmacy at $92 a month including the dispensing fee, against $262 for brand Ozempic at the cheapest chain.
Why do GLP-1 prices differ between cities in Ontario?
Chain coverage. Mississauga is cheapest at $262 and Toronto dearest at $274, on the identical pen. The manufacturer's price is uniform across Canada; what differs is which discount chains operate in a given city and how much local competition there is. A city with a Costco or several Superstore pharmacies has a lower floor than one served mainly by independents.
Can I use the Ozempic savings card in Ontario?
Yes. The Ozempic savings card applies in Ontario and brings brand Ozempic in line with generic semaglutide pricing at the counter, with nothing to print. It generally cannot be combined with a public drug plan.
