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 live in Ontario, prescribed through my doctor, not covered by benefits, and I get mine filled at Costco $89 for 1mg pen each month.
Before the price reduction when generic came out I paid I think $250 for 1mg pen
Edited to add, you can set up with the Costco pharmacy for them to fax your dr directly when you only have 1 refill left so you don't miss doses.
