canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time

Highlights from this day
- ferritin_fay — the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so 16:48
- reta_resting_hr — the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about 17:30
- verify_or_dont — a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter 17:33
- non_scale_win — spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free 18:18
- fridge_thermo — i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine, thats one data point 19:31

an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose
anyone in ontario able to say what theyre actually paying
coming back after 14 months, has any province changed its position
is a frozen lyophilised vial ruined or is that fine
the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about

transit was 12 days for me with a week of nothing in the middle at a customs facility
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter

i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february
any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them
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
does the postal service or the courier handle winter better
sorry to jump in has anyone had a vial actually freeze in transit
an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one
is it worth just waiting until spring to order
spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free

check your plan
depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
update from 19 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially
do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
does private insurance cover it in canada or only some plans
there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time
postal in winter

unrelated but what does a month cost in canadian dollars at a pharmacy
[edited]how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont
i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine, thats one data point
