Highlights from this day
- apnoea_down_two — clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in 22:25
- brisbane_bac — ok so the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it, happy to be corrected 23:02
- pbs_pip — an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close 23:24
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
wouldnt risk reconstituted

what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
📉10❤️2👍6
the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
how long is transit into australia running at the moment
🎉11🧊17
summer is the risk
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
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
*that should say weekly
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in

is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia
👍9🧪2
Testing queue: 4 submissions open, 11 awaiting dispatch.
does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight
🎉12🤝4
the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough
that was a year ago
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
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 depot is the problem
ok so i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble

are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
[edited]nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation

i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 99. one vial, one result
transit was 25 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
supply steadied here
member reported figure
Recon calculator: 5mg in 3ml = 4mg/ml.
ok so the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it, happy to be corrected

anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
ok so how bad is the heat problem in january really
while im here the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
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
unrelated but did the compounders give any notice before they stopped

the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was

the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
pharmac hasnt funded it
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
keep a spare month
coming back after 3 months, is supply any better in australia now
dont order in january
anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
check thats still true
