Is Rybelsus available in Canada?

Yes. Rybelsus (oral semaglutide) is available in Canada and can be prescribed at WellnessHaus in Toronto following a free medical weight loss consultation.

Is oral semaglutide available in Canada?

Yes. Rybelsus is the only oral semaglutide medication available in Canada. It is taken as a daily tablet rather than a weekly injection. WellnessHaus practitioners can help you decide if oral semaglutide is the right choice for you.

What makes Rybelsus different from Ozempic or Wegovy?

Rybelsus is the only oral semaglutide — taken as a daily tablet rather than a weekly injection. It is an option for patients who prefer not to self-inject. Injectable semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) typically produces greater weight loss due to higher achievable doses, but Rybelsus is an effective option for patients where injections are not preferred.

How much does Rybelsus cost in Canada?

The initial consultation at WellnessHaus is free. The program fee is $99 per month, which includes lab work, body composition assessment, prescription, monthly check-ins, and ongoing support. Rybelsus medication typically costs $150–$250 per month in Canada. Coverage varies by insurance plan.

Is Rybelsus approved for weight loss in Canada?

Rybelsus is approved in Canada for type 2 diabetes and may be prescribed off-label for weight loss at a physician’s discretion. Your WellnessHaus physician will assess appropriateness at consultation.

Can I get a GLP-1 prescription if my BMI is in the normal range?

In some instances, yes. GLP-1 medications can be prescribed at physician discretion even with a normal BMI — for metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, or other clinical indications. Our medical team will assess your individual situation at consultation.

Do I have to come in person for appointments?

No. WellnessHaus offers both virtual and in-person consultations. Many patients complete their entire program virtually, with in-person visits available at our Toronto clinic.

Possible thyroid tumors, including cancer. Tell your healthcare provider if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath.
