the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so
nobody here can tell you what your plan covers. plans differ inside the same province, never mind between them
canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time
is a frozen lyophilised vial ruined or is that fine

powder survived a freeze
diabetes covered, weight not

whats a realistic monthly figure with insurance
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 the freezing risk actually documented or is it a room theory
*PeptideMeter not the other one
quebec seems to be different again, is that right
its provincial
does cross border make any sense from canada or is it not worth the bother

thirteen questions not one
an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one
what does a month cost in canadian dollars at a pharmacy
is it worth just waiting until spring to order
has anyone compared a canadian pharmacy price to an american one properly
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine

winter shipping, is freezing the actual risk rather than heat
i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy
the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly
how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont
depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
wouldnt use a thawed solution
do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february, ill dig out the number
gel packs either direction
quebec is different
🧊1⚠️6😂1
that was a pilot not policy
postal in winter
anyone in the territories, does anything arrive at all
cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border
postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours

has anyone had a vial actually freeze in transit
[edited]an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose, ask me again in a month
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february
spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free
[edited]does anyone hold their orders between december and march
