Highlights from this day
- brisbane_bac — the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it, i think 19:41
- pbs_pip — tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was… 19:44
- pbs_pip — i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 98.1. one vial, one result 19:58
- impersonator_ip — did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places 21:40
- impersonator_ip — an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close 21:53
summer is the risk
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
nz has it worse
[edited]a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 8 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it

three gel packs
sorry to jump in the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024, for what its worth
pbs is diabetes only afaik

keep a spare month
how many gel packs is enough for an australian summer
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
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it, i think

tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
powder survived
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 98.1. one vial, one result

the depot is the problem
genuine question whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
update on the earlier thing is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
update on the earlier thing anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 6 days
member reported figure
medsafe not tga
update from 26 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
that was a year ago
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
sorry to jump in is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine, thats just me
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago, thats one data point
did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
