About generic semaglutide
Find practical information on generic semaglutide in Canada, including product facts, prescription access, safety considerations, and questions to discuss with your healthcare provider.
01What generic semaglutide is
Generic semaglutide is a prescription medication containing semaglutide. Health Canada authorized a generic version of semaglutide in April 2026, and the generic semaglutide available through Phoenix is manufactured by Apotex. Read the current Canadian product monograph for its authorized indications and product information. A licensed Canadian healthcare provider reviews your health history before determining whether a prescription is appropriate.
02Product instructions and storage
Generic semaglutide is supplied in a prescription injection pen. Instructions can vary by the product dispensed. Follow the pharmacy label and the current Canadian product monograph for administration, storage and handling. Your healthcare provider determines whether the prescribed product is appropriate.
03Side effects and safety information
The side effects most often reported in Canadian semaglutide product monographs are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and abdominal pain, mainly when starting or increasing a dose. The monograph also lists conditions that rule semaglutide out, including a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Discuss your individual risks with your healthcare provider.
Get medical help right away for severe or persistent abdominal pain, signs of an allergic reaction, or changes in vision. Do not start, stop or combine prescription medications without talking to a provider.
04Generic semaglutide, Ozempic® and other options
Generic semaglutide and Ozempic® both contain semaglutide, a prescription medicinal ingredient. They are separate products and can differ by manufacturer, authorized uses, presentation, delivery device and price. A licensed Canadian healthcare provider reviews your health history and determines which care option, if any, is clinically appropriate.
Do not switch between products on your own. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber about the specific product dispensed.
05What to tell your clinician
Tell your clinician about your full health history, every prescription and non-prescription medication and supplement you take, and any allergies. Also mention if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any personal or family history of thyroid cancer, or any past pancreas, gallbladder, kidney or eye problems.
Complete answers help your clinician decide whether generic semaglutide or another option is appropriate. You can update your information at any time by messaging your clinician.
