coming back to this freeze thaw cycling is the concern rather than one freeze, and that is my read of it rather than a lab result
powder survived a freeze
an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one, thats one data point
anyone in the territories, does anything arrive at all
postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours
do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
update on the earlier thing quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago, ill dig out the number
is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial

canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time
the depot delay in winter runs longer than in summer and that is the part people do not plan for
the canada to us gap was reported at roughly a third to a half of the us price a year or two ago, and that will have moved, ask me again in a month
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february
the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not

follow up is a frozen lyophilised vial ruined or is that fine
the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly
insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction
anyone in ontario able to say what theyre actually paying
member reported 2024
i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine
its provincial
an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose
whats a realistic monthly figure with insurance

hold till march
did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back
🔥3
is it worth just waiting until spring to order
private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers
cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border
the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that, ask me again in a month

verify_or_dontthe border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that…
coming back after 14 months, has any province changed its position
canadian pharmacy pricing was well below the american equivalent in every comparison members have made in here
nobody here can tell you what your plan covers. plans differ inside the same province, never mind between them
gel packs either direction
i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february
postal in winter
a member in the territories reported everything arriving eventually and nothing arriving quickly

*Medutest not the other one
does anyone hold their orders between december and march
coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another

how do people insulate against cold rather than against heat
quebec is different
