Highlights from this day
- ghk_gia — genuine question the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time, take that… 18:16
- two_lifts_a_week — nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote 18:35
- still_here_2024 — the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it 19:09
- swirl_not_shake — three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine, not advice obviously 19:23
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 2 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, i think
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it

coming back to this coming back after 15 months, is supply any better in australia now
the depot is the problem
three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine, not advice obviously
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
keep a spare month
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
sorry to jump in i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
dont order in january

anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
