Common questions
Is there a Ozempic savings card in Canada?
Yes: the Ozempic savings card. Launched 29 May 2026 and brings brand Ozempic in line with generic semaglutide pricing. Nothing to print and no pre-registration: pharmacies apply it at the counter, automatically at Rexall through Novo Nordisk Care Rx.
What if a generic is cheaper than Ozempic with the programme?
Then the generic wins on price. Generic semaglutide is approved in Canada and undercuts brand Ozempic at every chain we track. A card only earns its place when the discounted brand price beats the generic you would otherwise be handed; whether a switch is appropriate is a question for your prescriber.
Will the pharmacy apply it for me?
Ask. Cards applied at the counter need no claim from you; programmes that require enrolment need you enrolled before the fill. Either way, have the pharmacist run it before dispensing so you see the figure first.
