Highlights from this day
- pharmac_pen — lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it 22:31
- dublin_dose — anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it 22:39
- dublin_dose — australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago 23:15
- dublin_dose — 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, happy to be corrected 23:28
- dublin_dose — ok so insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it, i think 23:29
how many gel packs is enough for an australian summer
wouldnt risk reconstituted

clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
supply steadied here
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in

is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped

temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide

july is easy
📉2📈10
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
check thats still true
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 96.8. one vial, one result
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw, still working it out
nz has it worse
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago

what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
keep a spare month
nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent, ymmv

how bad is the heat problem in january really
i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner
how long is transit into australia running at the moment
anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
