Highlights from this day
- meniscus_mel — 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 21:26
- brisbane_bac — did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places 21:58
- brisbane_bac — slightly off topic but i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft 22:04
- juno_joins — the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel 22:38
- cagri_curious — coming back after 16 months, is supply any better in australia now 22:41
pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
are the rules in nz the same or completely separate

anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it
how bad is the heat problem in january really
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
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
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
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
medsafe not tga
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in

insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
dont order in january

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
three gel packs

what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
check thats still true
while im here is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it, n of 1 obviously
the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
[edited]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 keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
coming back after 16 months, is supply any better in australia now

the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
nz has it worse
australian pricing, whats a realistic monthly figure
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide, ask me again in a month

any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years, someone check my working
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
