Highlights from this day
- cagri_curious — 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 14:40
- pharmac_pen — did the compounders give any notice before they stopped 14:41
- meniscus_mel — update from 10 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 6 days in summer, and it… 16:06
- VialBot — Assay note: QST lot A-2418 reported at 97.4% of label content. 16:09
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
while im here the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
*Medutest not the other one
medsafe not tga
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
australian pricing, whats a realistic monthly figure
wouldnt risk reconstituted

australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago

nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight
the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough
summer is the risk
supply steadied here
how many gel packs is enough for an australian summer
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
update from 10 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 6 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me
whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all

keep a spare month
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
the depot is the problem
pharmac hasnt funded it
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
powder survived
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 - 260i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner
the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
unrelated but is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia
