Highlights from this day
- see_a_clinician — update from 22 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down 20:27
- plus_sixteen — genuine question i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner 20:42
- plus_sixteen — tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly, your mileage will differ 20:45
is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia

i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 99.4. one vial, one result

ok so whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
❤️9🤝13
did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
pharmac hasnt funded it
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
👀5😂7
how bad is the heat problem in january really
is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
📉6
for the archive i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260wouldnt risk reconstituted
that was a year ago
several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you
what happened to people who were on a compounded version

unrelated but insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
*that should say weekly
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it

people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
*Janoshik not the other one
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 5 days
pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
🧊4
what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
medsafe not tga
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
