Ontario Drug Benefit coverage
As of 31 July 2026Off-formulary interchangeable Part III-B
Ontario has designated this product interchangeable with a brand product, but it is not an ODB benefit — Part III-B, Off-Formulary Interchangeable. Ontario does not pay for it under the benefit list.
It may be funded through the Exceptional Access Program, which needs a patient-specific application from a prescriber and is decided case by case.
- What ODB pays per unit
- $1.2034
This is what the Ontario Drug Benefit program reimburses a pharmacy for one unit, as of 31 July 2026. A deductible and a co-payment sit on top of it and differ by program — ODB, the Trillium Drug Program and the seniors co-payment each work differently — so it is not the figure anyone is charged at a counter. It also says nothing about private, workplace or federal coverage.
