the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough, still working it out

Highlights from this day
- pharmac_pen — pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately 15:25
- hr_log_hattie — the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel 15:32
- pharmac_pen — what happened to people who were on a compounded version 15:33
- pharmac_pen — transit was 4 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route 15:43
july is easy
pbs is diabetes only afaik
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
genuine question is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it

any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 2 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, your mileage will differ
follow up the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was

what happened to people who were on a compounded version

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
the depot is the problem
pharmac hasnt funded it
transit was 4 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route

*week 24 not week 5
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
unrelated but the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you
unrelated but anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 3 days
