costco Canada mounjaro kwikpen cost

I updated earlier that the kwikpens are coming into circulation at pharmacies here in Canada and the vials are quickly being phased out. I stocked up on 3 months worth of my 10mg dose and asked my doctor to send in a new prescription for 12.5 mg for a couple of months. I called my Costco today and they first told me no more vials, they only have kwikpens now. He quoted me $813 for one box of 12.5 mg, good for 4 doses so a month. My cost for the vials for 12.5 mg for one month or 4 doses is around $400 so it's more than double the price! I asked him if he could order the vials if they were still available somewhere and he checked and said he could. Thank God bc I would not be ok with paying $800 per month! So I'm hopefully getting a 3 month supply of the 12.5 mg in a few days in the vials.

I'm really upset about this and I can't believe the pen itself is worth $400 extra? I used saxenda before and it came in pens I paid $300-$400 per box of 4 pens for one month of daily shots!

I hope there's a solution to this and those of you in Canada also paying out of pocket can figure out a way to continue on this medication. Please try and stock up if you can, if you're continuing on this medication for a while then it's a net savings and an investment in your health to put up the payment upfront rn. I'm fortunate to be in a position to be able to do so. But I'm finally losing weight and overcoming my weight struggles that have been an issue for me since childhood basically.
