Partnership offers Canadians taking Ozempic^® and Wegovy^® their prescriptions delivered right to their doorstep with pricing in line with in-store pharmacy

MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 13, 2026 /CNW/ - Novo Nordisk Canada and Rexall, a trusted, licensed Canadian pharmacy, announced today the launch of Novo Nordisk Care^® Rx, a strategic partnership that aims to provide seamless home access to high-quality medications including Ozempic^® (semaglutide injection), Wegovy^® (semaglutide injection) and Rybelsus^® (semaglutide tablets).

Novo Nordisk Care^® Rx is a one-stop solution, that safely dispenses and ships medications – with the support of Rexall's online pharmacy, Rexall Direct – right to Canadians' homes at no additional cost, reducing the need for in-person pharmacy visits while helping ensure timely, secure access to treatment. Patients will have the opportunity to chat with a Rexall pharmacist over the phone and receive personalized education, advice, and ongoing support.

"For more than a century, Novo Nordisk has supported people living with chronic conditions. As Canadians look for simpler, more convenient ways to manage their health in everyday life, this partnership with Rexall Direct helps make trusted treatments for type 2 diabetes and obesity easier to access—delivered directly to people's homes with discretion and care," said Iain Graham, General Manager of Novo Nordisk Canada.

"At Rexall, our focus is on making care more accessible, convenient, and patient‑centered. Our partnership with Novo Nordisk represents another meaningful step in delivering on that commitment. Through this collaboration, customers can confidently access Ozempic^® and Wegovy^® products from a trusted pharmacy, receive personalized support and guidance from our pharmacists, and manage their care from the comfort of their own home. Together, we share a belief that better health outcomes begin by removing barriers to care and supporting the overall health and well‑being of people across Canada," said Jeff Boutilier, Chief Operating Officer, Rexall Pharmacy.

Research shows that many people living with type 2 diabetes manage multiple medications alongside other chronic conditions, adding complexity to everyday life.¹ Novo Nordisk Care^® Rx was designed with this in mind; providing reliable access to all of their prescriptions through a single, convenient service could help reduce the day‑to‑day burden and support people in staying on track with their care. People living with obesity frequently encounter barriers in the healthcare system, including experiences of weight bias and stigma that can limit access to appropriate care.² Solutions that make it easier to access prescribed care—such as home delivery—may help remove some of those barriers and better support individuals on their health journey.
