Our pharmacist, Wessam Sakr, had the opportunity to speak with CBC Calgary about the growing conversation around generic semaglutide in Canada and what it could mean for patients seeking weight management support.

As pharmacists, one of our most important roles is helping patients navigate evolving treatment options safely, responsibly, and with evidence-based guidance. Medications are only one part of the journey — long-term success also involves individualized assessment, lifestyle support, ongoing monitoring, and realistic goal setting.

At Edgemont Family Pharmacy, we continue to provide pharmacist-led weight management consultations focused on education, patient safety, and personalized care plans tailored to each individual’s needs.

Thank you to CBC Calgary for including my perspective in this important discussion.
