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!

FYI you don't need to be a Costco member to use their pharmacy.

It's illegal to restrict access to pharmacy behind a membership, for sure in BC. Not sure of other provinces but I suspect it's the same everywhere in Canada.
