Wegovy
How much does Wegovy cost in Canada?
5 min read · Updated August 2026 · Reviewed by the Miva clinical team
Wegovy is a prescription medicine in Canada, so there's no single retail price. Your monthly cost comes down to the dose you're on, where it's dispensed, and what your plan covers.
What you're paying for
- Four once-weekly doses per month at your prescribed strength
- Pharmacy dispensing fee and markup, which differ by province and pharmacy
- Clinician assessment and follow-up, if not bundled into the price
- Delivery, if you use an online pharmacy
Wegovy through Miva
Miva prices Wegovy from $75 with Subscribe & Save, including clinician review, dispensing from our licensed Canadian pharmacy in Delta, BC, and discreet delivery. Your final price reflects the dose you're prescribed as you titrate up.
Insurance and provincial coverage
Most public provincial formularies cover semaglutide for type 2 diabetes rather than for weight management, and private plans vary widely — some cover weight-management drugs with prior authorisation, others exclude them.
Ask your insurer directly whether semaglutide for weight management is an eligible expense under your plan, whether prior authorisation is needed, and whether there's an annual or lifetime maximum.
Budgeting realistically
Treatment is ongoing rather than a one-off course, so plan for a monthly cost you can sustain. If cost is a barrier, discuss it at your review — dose, format and plan options can all be revisited, and there are other clinically appropriate weight-management routes.
Frequently asked questions
Is Wegovy covered by insurance in Canada?
Sometimes. Coverage for weight-management indications depends entirely on your specific plan. Confirm with your insurer before starting, and ask whether prior authorisation is required.
How much is Wegovy in Canada without insurance?
Without coverage you pay the full cost of the pens plus pharmacy fees, which varies by dose and pharmacy. Miva's Wegovy pricing starts from $75 with Subscribe & Save, with clinician review and delivery included.
Is there a cheaper alternative?
Oral options and other weight-management medicines can cost less per month, though effectiveness differs. Your clinician can talk through which options fit your health history, goals and budget.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) are prescription-only medicines in Canada. This page is general information, not medical advice — a Canadian-licensed clinician reviews every assessment and decides whether treatment is suitable for you.
