a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose

- night_pin — cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border 17:51
- ferritin_fay — is it worth just waiting until spring to order 18:37
*that should say weekly
member reported 2024
i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february
its provincial
gel packs either direction
i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy
right so update from 4 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially
powder survived a freeze
depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
does cross border make any sense from canada or is it not worth the bother

canadian pharmacy pricing was well below the american equivalent in every comparison members have made in here
the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that
anyone in ontario able to say what theyre actually paying
anyone in the territories, does anything arrive at all
coming back after 26 months, has any province changed its position
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february

a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that
as of when i last checked, some provinces covered the diabetes indication and none i knew of covered weight outright

diabetes covered, weight not

is provincial coverage as much of a patchwork as it looks from outside
the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about
check your plan
the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so
i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine

how long is transit into canada running
postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours
wouldnt use a thawed solution

that was a pilot not policy
quebec is different
is it worth just waiting until spring to order

pharmacy price in canada versus the us, is the gap as big as people claim
