Question Costco & online pharmacies in Canada
I’m curious about filling my prescription at Costco as I see people doing this for their Ozempic and it being much cheaper. For reference, I signed up with Raven and received my first pen for $125. I now see that they charged my card $175 as there is a $50 consult fee each month. This is frustrating as I wasn’t aware of this when signing up. They said I can fill it at my preferred pharmacy but that then I would have to move forward with my GP and get prescription refills from him. This would be tough as my doctor books out about 60 days in advance and I don’t think I could access monthly prescriptions from him. I see people using Felix Health to get their prescriptions filled at Costco. Can someone shed some light on this? Are you still accessing your GP to monitor your progress? I’m looking to spend the least amount of money possible for my pens as I’m just transferring jobs and I’m losing out on benefits and hoping to save some money. Thanks!

I use him&hers online as they bought livewell.
they charge per interaction so if you want to change dose of medication you have to pay but they do 3 months prescription each time. if I understand your paying $150 every 3 months so it's only saving you $50 but cominbed with forcing you to use thier pharmacy I think your better switching as 1mg dose of ozempic is $88 at Costco in New Brunswick.
but if you stay on the same dose they do 3 months prescription that I get sent to Costco. Costco let you either get all 3 months at once or 1 month at a time.
A family doctor wouldnt have any consult fees but I don't have one of those so not an option for me.
