insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it, someone check my working

- adelaide_assay — clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in 20:57
- meniscus_mel — australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago 21:07
- meniscus_mel — i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner 21:17
- tenpence — the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel 21:18
slightly off topic but temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide, take that with a pinch of salt
that was a year ago
coming back to this the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
quick one are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
supply steadied here
whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all
pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it

the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
Batch lookup G-0641: 5 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-08-08.
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 6 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me
what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
july is easy
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
Reminder for still_here_2024: dose day is today. Set 5 days ago.
medsafe not tga
dont order in january
update from 16 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down, i could be wrong
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
