Highlights from this day
- pharmac_pen — coming back after 10 months, is supply any better in australia now 13:01
- gradient_greg — 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 13:53
- gradient_greg — nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent 13:57
- gradient_greg — australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago, ask me again in a month 14:01
- brisbane_bac — 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 14:27
several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you
what happened to people who were on a compounded version
transit was 4 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route, thats just me
july is easy
coming back after 10 months, is supply any better in australia now

the depot is the problem
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia
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

three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago, ask me again in a month
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 3 days
medsafe not tga
pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight
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
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation
