Be first to know
Join our list and we'll tell you as soon as new weight-loss pills arrive in Canada.
List current as of November 2026, based on Health Canada approvals. Generic semaglutide is new in Canada and supply varies by maker, so text us to check what's in stock. Brand names belong to their owners.
How GLP-1s work
They work with your body's own fullness signals.
GLP-1 is a hormone your gut releases after you eat. GLP-1 medicines copy it. They slow how fast your stomach empties and tell your brain you're full, so you feel less hungry and are satisfied with smaller meals. Tirzepatide (Zepbound and Mounjaro) also acts on a second gut hormone, GIP.
Most are injected under the skin with a small pen, once a week or once a day. Rybelsus is a daily tablet. You start on a low dose and step up slowly, which helps your body adjust.
Who they're for
For weight management, Health Canada has approved them for adults with:
- a BMI of 30 or more, or
- a BMI of 27 or more plus a weight-related health problem, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or sleep apnea.
They're used together with healthier eating and more physical activity. Some are also approved for teens 12 and older.

Benefits
What they can do
- Less hunger and fewer cravings, so it's easier to eat less.
- In studies, people using them with diet and exercise lost much more weight than with diet and exercise alone.
- Better blood sugar control for people with type 2 diabetes.
- Some are also approved to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke in people with heart disease.
- Losing weight can improve blood pressure, cholesterol, joint pain and sleep.
Results vary from person to person. Weight often comes back if the medication is stopped, so most people need it long term.
Side effects
What to expect
The most common side effects affect the stomach and are usually mild. They're most likely when you start or move up a dose, and often ease with time:
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation
- Heartburn, burping or bloating
- Stomach pain and lower appetite
- Tiredness, headache or dizziness
- Redness or itching where you inject
Tips that help: eat smaller meals, stop when you feel full, go easy on greasy or spicy foods, and drink plenty of water. Eat enough protein and stay active to protect your muscle.
Call your doctor or get help right away if you have
- Severe stomach pain that doesn't go away, with or without vomiting (possible pancreatitis)
- Pain in the upper right belly, fever, or yellow skin or eyes (possible gallbladder problems)
- Shakiness, sweating or confusion, especially if you also take insulin or a sulfonylurea (low blood sugar)
- Vomiting or diarrhea that stops you from keeping fluids down (dehydration can harm your kidneys)
- Swelling of the face or throat, trouble breathing, or a severe rash
- A lump or swelling in your neck, trouble swallowing or a hoarse voice that won't go away
- Changes in your vision, or thoughts of self-harm or changes in mood
GLP-1s aren't for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2, and they shouldn't be used during pregnancy. If you're planning a pregnancy, talk to your doctor first. Tell us about all your other medications, including birth control pills, so we can check for interactions. This page is general information, not medical advice.
Coverage and cost
We'll find the lowest price for you.
Government plans in Ontario generally don't cover medications for weight management, and the Ontario Drug Benefit only covers some GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes when certain conditions are met. Many private plans do cover them, but often only after a prior authorization form.
Send us your drug plan details and we'll check your coverage, fill out the form, coordinate with your doctor, and give you our discounted price for whatever your plan doesn't cover. Lower-cost generic semaglutide is another option to ask your prescriber about.
Questions
GLP-1 questions, answered.
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. All GLP-1 medications need a prescription from a doctor or nurse practitioner. If you don't have a family doctor, the doctors at Oasis Family Health Centre, in our building, are accepting new patients. Call 416-439-0163.
What's the difference between Ozempic and Wegovy?
Both contain semaglutide. Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes and Wegovy for weight management, at a higher dose. Zepbound and Mounjaro are the same pairing for tirzepatide.
Is there a generic version?
Yes. Health Canada approved the first generic semaglutide in 2026, including generic versions of Ozempic and Sevmia, a generic of Wegovy. Ask your prescriber whether a generic is right for you, and text us to check stock.
Can I move my GLP-1 prescription to Oasis?
Yes. Use the transfer form or text us at 647-806-3784, and we'll move it from your current pharmacy, usually the same day.
Will you show me how to use the pen?
Yes. A pharmacist will walk you through your first injection, how to store your pens and what to do if you miss a dose.
How should I store my pens?
Keep unused pens in the fridge, never in the freezer. Once you start a pen, some can be kept at room temperature for a set time. We'll tell you exactly how long for yours.
Is there a weight-loss pill?
Rybelsus is a daily tablet approved in Canada for type 2 diabetes. Pills for weight management, including the Wegovy pill and orforglipron, are under Health Canada review. Join our list and we'll let you know when they arrive.
