Canada Approves Generic Ozempic

Canada Approves Generic Ozempic

Published 1 day, 2 hours ago
Description

Canada just made history by becoming the first G7 nation to approve a generic version of Ozempic, slashing drug costs by over two-thirds and offering hope to millions struggling with high prices for GLP-1 medications used to treat diabetes and weight management. While Canadians may see these affordable options in pharmacies by early June, Americans face years of steep prices—often over $1,000 monthly—due to extended patent protections. The move could spark a wave of cross-border drug shopping, reigniting debates over healthcare affordability and access across the border.
