Highlights from this day
- ten_of_ten — for the archive anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it 18:52
- pharmac_pen — the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it 19:27
- pharmac_pen — i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 99.2. one vial, one result, your mileage will differ 19:29
- cagri_curious — for the archive australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago, your mileage will differ 21:07

medsafe not tga
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
the depot is the problem
australian pricing, whats a realistic monthly figure
slightly off topic but lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
coming back after 20 months, is supply any better in australia now

dont order in january
summer is the risk
the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it

transit was 9 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight

tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
powder survived
that was a year ago
i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner
wouldnt risk reconstituted
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
are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation

did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
how many gel packs is enough for an australian summer

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
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 - 260three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
update from 5 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down

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
is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
