Highlights from this day
- meniscus_mel — clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down… 19:13
- cold_pack_carla — insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it, we shall see 20:00
- deamidation — transit was 18 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route 20:22
- cagri_curious — australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago 20:40
are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly, n of 1 obviously
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
medsafe not tga
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble

the depot is the problem
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 3 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me
keep a spare month
dont order in january

follow up as far as i understood it a year ago, the pbs listing covered the diabetes indication and not weight management, and that split catches people out
summer is the risk
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 98.6. one vial, one result
wouldnt risk reconstituted
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft, from memory
how bad is the heat problem in january really
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
taste_changedi tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 98.6. one…

supply steadied here
sorry to jump in whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all
[edited]the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 5 days
i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner
how many gel packs is enough for an australian summer
transit was 18 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route

pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
check thats still true
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago
