Online GLP-1 providers

An online GLP-1 provider is a service that connects you with a licensed Canadian prescriber over the internet, then arranges a pharmacy to fill and ship the prescription. A GLP-1 is a prescription medication in the class that includes semaglutide and tirzepatide. Whether you may take one is a decision for a prescriber, not for this page.

Why two providers with similar prices can feel very different

Most provider sites describe the same three steps: answer questions, get a prescription, receive a delivery. The difference is what happens around those steps. One service stops at the prescription. Another has its own pharmacy. Another runs the weight program as one of many treatments on a single account. Another builds the whole program around lab work, scheduled visits and coaching.

We group these into four care models: prescription service, pharmacy program, multi-service platform and metabolic program. Each has its own page section on care models, and every provider card below shows its primary model. We classify from what a provider does in its sign-up flow and terms, not from its marketing, and we date every check. The full method is on our methodology page.

Program cost and medication cost are two different things

Look for two numbers when you compare. The program cost is what you pay the service: an assessment or visit fee, a monthly membership, or a follow-up fee. The medication cost is what the pharmacy charges for the drug itself, plus any dispensing fee, which is the pharmacy’s charge for filling a prescription.

Some providers bundle both into one monthly price. Others separate them, so the program fee looks small while the medication is billed on top. Neither is wrong, but you cannot compare them until you put both on the same footing. For medication prices on their own, see our price pages. For what your plan may pay, see coverage.

Questions to ask any provider

These are worth asking before you pay anything, whichever service you choose.

1. Who prescribes, and are they licensed in my province?
2. Is my first step a form, a message thread, a phone call or a video visit?
3. Are lab tests required, ordered only if needed, or not part of the process?
4. Who do I hear from at renewal, and how often is a check-in built in?
5. If I have a question between visits, who answers and how fast?
6. Which pharmacy fills the prescription, and does it ship or require pickup?
7. What happens to my fees if the prescriber says no, or if I cancel?
8. Is the medication price included, or billed separately?

If a provider has not published the answer, you can ask its support team. If you do, tell us what you learn through our corrections page and we will update the profile.

How to read the comparison below

The cards and matrix show the same ten fields for every provider: care model, first step, who prescribes, lab work, follow-up, support between visits, how you get your medication, other treatments offered, cost model and provinces served. Providers that serve your province appear first, then the rest alphabetically. Whether a provider pays us never affects order or wording, and we never score or rank them. Paid relationships are labelled and explained in our disclosure.

Nothing here is medical advice. A prescriber or pharmacist can tell you what is appropriate for you.
