Highlights from this day
- back_from_away — several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you the last leg to a rural… 15:40
- apob_over_ldl — i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 99.2. one vial, one result, thats one data point 16:20
- back_from_away — the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time, thats one data point 17:27
- tb500_tobias — does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight 17:53
keep a spare month

is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
while im here as of a year or so ago there was no nz reimbursement for weight indications at all, so check rather than taking that as current
[edited]did the compounders give any notice before they stopped
update on the earlier thing clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine

the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
quick one a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
powder survived
anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
check thats still true
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia

how bad is the heat problem in january really

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
[edited]wouldnt risk reconstituted

shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
