Highlights from this day
  • ten_of_ten — nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote, not advice obviously 21:26
  • cagri_curious — what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply 21:51
  • cagri_curious — anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but… 22:02
  • stack_sceptic — right so several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you 22:07
  • rezept_rolf — ok so the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw 22:10

i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft

pbs is diabetes only afaik

CC

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

a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 3 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, from memory

a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month

sorry to jump in the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it

TO

genuine question an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose

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

FF

i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise
