Can you bring Ozempic to Canada?

• Injectable medication

  allowed, within limits

  GLP-1 drugs and insulin are ordinary (non-controlled) prescription drugs in Canada, so the general personal-use rule applies: a single course of treatment or a 90-day supply, whichever is less, hand-carried in original/clearly labelled pharmacy packaging. This applies to visitors, and to residents of Canada returning with pens or insulin prescribed and filled in Canada; residents generally may not bring in prescription drugs prescribed or bought abroad. Health Canada's guidance separately states that medical devices imported for personal use -- which covers self-administered injection pens, syringes and needles -- are not restricted under the Food and Drugs Act or Medical Devices Regulations, provided the device doesn't require a trained operator, i.e. it's meant for the patient's own self-administration.

  This guidance document does not mention insulin, GLP-1 drugs, needles or syringes by name -- the 90-day rule is the same generic prescription-drug provision already used for the site's general prescription-medication-ca entry, and the needle/syringe treatment is inferred from the document's general 'medical devices for personal use' section, not a dedicated sharps policy. No refrigeration/cold-chain guidance was found on this source.

  Also covers: ozempic, wegovy, mounjaro, zepbound, semaglutide, tirzepatide, insulin, needles, syringes, injection pen, glp-1
