Highlights from this day
- melb_meniscus — quick one the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time 17:56
- pharmac_pen — i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble 17:57
- pharmac_pen — is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia 18:13
- cold_chain_cmdr — slightly off topic but i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise the seasonal thing… 19:15
- VialBot — Inter-lab diff for lot H-2814: 98.6% vs 99.2%. Within expected range. 20:11

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
