Hims & Hers Health is launching a generic version of semaglutide for eligible customers in Canada. This medication contains the active ingredient found in Ozempic and Wegovy.
Personalized treatment plans start at $149 CAD per month. The move marks the telehealth firm's first international expansion of its generic GLP-1 portfolio.
Nearly two-thirds of Canadian adults are currently classified as overweight or obese. Apotex Inc. supplies the medication. While approved for type 2 diabetes, clinicians may prescribe the drug off-label for weight management.
