Using it, step by step
Check the cash price first
Get the pharmacy’s cash price for your exact strength before you count on a programme. The table above shows the cheapest counter in Ontario; your own pharmacy may differ.
Check whether you enrol first
Free enrolment at myzepbound.ca. Any Canadian resident with a prescription qualifies, and the programme also helps with prior authorisation.
Bring the card and your plan
If you have private coverage, hand over both. Manufacturer programmes are designed to sit alongside a plan. Public plans are usually excluded.
Ask for the number first
Have the pharmacist run the programme against the prescription before they dispense, so you see your out-of-pocket before you commit.
Common questions
Is there a Zepbound savings card in Canada?
Yes: the myZepbound Savings and Support Program. Free enrolment at myzepbound.ca. Any Canadian resident with a prescription qualifies, and the programme also helps with prior authorisation.
What if a generic is cheaper than Zepbound 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.
