pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 6 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me

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

pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 9 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me

i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 98.1. one vial, one result
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft

did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
follow up the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
three gel packs
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago

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
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260👀3✅13
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide, anyway
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
keep a spare month
ok so i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise
Testing queue: 9 submissions open, 69 awaiting dispatch.
medsafe not tga
how long is transit into australia running at the moment
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
[edited]i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner
genuine question 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, thats just me
is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
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
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote

swirl_not_shakeas far as i understood it a year ago, the pbs listing covered the diabetes indication…
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
wouldnt risk reconstituted

whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
australian pricing, whats a realistic monthly figure
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
supply steadied here
member reported figure

three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
july is easy
are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 4 days
