Phoenix and Raven Become First Canadian Telehealth Platforms to Offer Generic Semaglutide Direct to Patients

Eligible Canadians can now access Health Canada–approved generic semaglutide directly, by prescription, starting at $124.99

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Phoenix and Raven, leading Canadian digital health providers, announced the launch of generic semaglutide for direct-to-patient access in Canada, making them the first telehealth platform in the country to bring this medication to customers. Phoenix and Raven are looking to set the new pricing for optimal access with orders starting at $124.99, delivered by prescription across Canada.

The launch follows Health Canada's recent approval on April 28, 2026, making Canada the first G7 country to offer a generic semaglutide. With multiple generic manufacturers now authorized to supply the Canadian market, today's launch signals the beginning of a new era of accessibility for a medication that has fundamentally reshaped conversations about chronic disease, weight, and preventive health.

Demand ahead of launch has been significant, with thousands of Canadians having registered interest through the platform's waitlist. The generic semaglutide offered by Phoenix and Raven is supplied and distributed domestically.

"For a long time, the conversation around semaglutide in Canada was simple: most people couldn't get it, and those who could, often couldn't afford it. That changes today,” says Dr. Mark Broussenko, Medical Director at Phoenix and Raven.

“Generic approval is a turning point, not just for this medication, but for how Canadians think about access to care. When effective, evidence-based treatment becomes accessible and affordable, that's not just good for individual patients, it has the potential to meaningfully shift outcomes on a national level. This is what progress in Canadian healthcare looks like, and we are proud that Phoenix and Raven are the first digital telehealth providers to offer generic semaglutide to patients."
