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

summer is the risk
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
[edited]unrelated but whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped
what happened to people who were on a compounded version
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation

follow up did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 8 days
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 5 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me

dont order in january

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent, we shall see
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
[edited]check thats still true
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose, i could be wrong
sorry to jump in lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it

that was a year ago
genuine question i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
👀1🎉1🙏1
powder survived
i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner

right so coming back after 10 months, is supply any better in australia now
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month, take that with a pinch of salt
electrolyte_elianyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 8 days a parcel of mine sat in a queensland…
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
medsafe not tga
Testing queue: 2 submissions open, 100 awaiting dispatch.
anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you, thats just me
july is easy
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
