Highlights from this day
ok so the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
👀4
transit was 4 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 97.4. one vial, one result
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, thats just me
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in

i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise, take that with a pinch of salt
australian pricing, whats a realistic monthly figure
quick one coming back after 4 months, is supply any better in australia now
[edited]several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you
[edited]temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
genuine question a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner
summer is the risk
wouldnt risk reconstituted
genuine question the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
powder survived
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
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
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
pharmac hasnt funded it
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 - 260is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private

did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago, we shall see
member reported figure
