Many patients choose to switch — often from a branded medication to generic semaglutide to lower their cost. Switching is straightforward.
How to request a switch
Log in at https://app.kinrohealth.ca/messages and message your practitioner letting them know which medication you'd like to switch to. They'll review it and make the change on your account.
Why patients switch to generic
Generic semaglutide offers the same active ingredient as branded semaglutide at a lower price ($100 per pen), which is why it's a popular choice. Your practitioner can confirm whether it's appropriate for you.
Will my pricing change?
Yes — your medication is billed at the price of whichever option you're on. Once your practitioner updates your prescription, your next order reflects the new medication and its price.
