Peptide news: new medications, strengths and prices in Canada

Peptide news from a licensed Canadian pharmacy: what has changed at our pharmacy and in Health Canada’s drug database, newest first. Every item is checked against the Drug Product Database before it is posted.

  • Chat with our pharmacist on WhatsApp

    Every medication page now has a “WhatsApp a pharmacist” button that opens a chat with the medication already named, and the same button sits at the bottom of every page. WhatsApp is run by Meta; if you would rather not share health details there, call us instead. Ways to reach a pharmacist.

  • Pen needles, sharps containers and travel cases

    Pen needles, a sharps container for used needles and a travel case for your pen can now be added to any prescription delivery. Our pharmacist checks that the needles fit your pen first. Injection supplies.

  • Our pharmacy licence, published

    Every prescription on this site is dispensed by Altec Drug Services in Winnipeg, licensed by the College of Pharmacists of Manitoba (licence 33275). The licence and a link to check it on the college register are on our pharmacy page and in the footer of every page. Winnipeg and Manitoba patients have their own page.

  • Nine clinic-given medications added

    Depot injections and implants given by a nurse or doctor are now listed with every strength: Lupron Depot, Eligard, Zoladex, Trelstar, Firmagon, Zeulide Depot, Sandostatin LAR, Octreotide Depot and Signifor LAR. We deliver them to you for your appointment, or straight to your clinic.

  • Next-day doorstep delivery

    Prescriptions now arrive the next business day after our pharmacist releases them, refrigerated where needed, in plain packaging. Remote addresses can take a day or two longer.

  • Contrave added to our price list

    Contrave (naltrexone / bupropion extended-release tablets, made by Bausch Health) has been sold in Canada since 2020. Bottles of 70 and 120 tablets are now listed with their prices. See Contrave prices.

  • Rybelsus and Saxenda prices published

    All six Rybelsus tablet strengths and both Saxenda pen packs now show a price, so every core GLP-1 medication on our list can be compared in one place. Search the full price list.

  • GLP-1 tablets: what Canada has, and what it doesn’t yet

    Two once-daily GLP-1 tablets approved in the United States in the past year are still not authorized in Canada. Rybelsus remains the only GLP-1 tablet a Canadian pharmacy can dispense. Read where each review stands.

  • Every price now shown in CAD

    Prices across the site now carry “CAD” so nobody has to guess the currency. They include the dispensing fee, as before.

  • A new Wegovy pen in Canada

    Health Canada’s database lists a new multi-dose Wegovy pen that delivers 0.5 mg doses, marketed from 27 August 2026. Ask our pharmacist which Wegovy pens we currently stock. See Wegovy prices.

  • Three new Rybelsus strengths

    Rybelsus 1.5 mg, 4 mg and 9 mg tablets were marketed in Canada from 13 March 2026, alongside the original 3 mg, 7 mg and 14 mg. A prescriber decides which strength is right for you. See Rybelsus prices.

How we check peptide news before we post it

Every new strength, pen or product is checked against Health Canada’s Drug Product Database, which lists each authorized drug with its Drug Identification Number (DIN), status and market date. A product only appears on our price list once it is marketed in Canada and we can dispense it. Rumours, US launches and “coming soon” products are not news until Health Canada has acted.

Want to know when something changes?

Ask our pharmacist about any medication, including ones still under review. We will tell you what we know, and what we don’t. Ask a pharmacist.
