What Each GLP-1 Prescription Requires in Canada

Every GLP-1 medication in Canada is prescription-only, and the path to one is the same shape each time: an online provider that serves your province, an intake questionnaire, and a licensed clinician who reviews it and makes the final decision. What differs by medication is which providers offer it, what their published rates cover, and how renewals run. Each page below is a checklist for one medication, with every commercial fact carrying the date it was verified.
