Highlights from this day
- cagri_curious — nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering… 19:37
- two_lifts_a_week — a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 7 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, take that with a pinch of salt 19:45
- brisbane_bac — ok so as far as i understood it a year ago, the pbs listing covered the diabetes indication and not weight management, and that split catches people out 20:35
- auckland_aliquot — how long is transit into australia running at the moment 21:28
- warsaw_vial — i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise 22:42
is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia

i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 7 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, take that with a pinch of salt
update from 16 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down, happy to be corrected
quick one the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 9 days
transit was 24 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
dont order in january
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
ok so as far as i understood it a year ago, the pbs listing covered the diabetes indication and not weight management, and that split catches people out
summer is the risk
pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
supply steadied here

tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
three gel packs

temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
australian pricing, whats a realistic monthly figure
the depot is the problem
how long is transit into australia running at the moment

what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
pharmac hasnt funded it

pbs is diabetes only afaik
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
that was a year ago
july is easy
powder survived
wouldnt risk reconstituted
the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough
i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise

follow up i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 98.1. one vial, one result
anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
