How much does Mounjaro cost in Canada?

What drives the price

• Dose strength — higher tirzepatide doses generally cost more per month
• Pack size — a month's supply is four once-weekly pens
• Pharmacy dispensing fee and markup, which vary by province and pharmacy
• Whether you're on a subscription plan or buying month to month
• Shipping, if you use an online pharmacy

Mounjaro through Miva

Miva prices Mounjaro from $129 with Subscribe & Save, which includes clinician review, dispensing from our licensed Canadian pharmacy and discreet delivery. Your exact price depends on the dose your clinician prescribes.

There's no long-term contract — you can pause or stop between cycles.

Is Mounjaro covered by insurance?

Coverage in Canada is inconsistent. Provincial drug plans generally fund tirzepatide for type 2 diabetes under specific criteria rather than for weight management, and many private plans exclude weight-loss medicines outright or require prior authorisation.

The only reliable answer comes from your own plan. Call your insurer or check your benefits booklet, and ask three questions: is tirzepatide listed, is it covered for weight management as well as diabetes, and does it need prior authorisation?

Keeping costs down safely

• Ask your clinician whether a lower maintenance dose is working well enough for you
• Compare the all-in monthly cost, not just the sticker price — dispensing fees and delivery add up
• Check manufacturer support programs, which change over time
• Avoid unlicensed sellers and compounded 'tirzepatide' sold without a prescription — product quality and dosing accuracy are not guaranteed
