Highlights from this day
- swirl_not_shake — several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you 12:41
- two_lifts_a_week — a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month 13:58
- pbs_pip — nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation 15:35
- meniscus_mel — i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 99.2. one vial, one result 17:08
slightly off topic but people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
update on the earlier thing is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent

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 - 260👍15🧊2🔥6
transit was 21 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
pbs is diabetes only afaik
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
quick one is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
[edited]✅1
for the archive clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
nz has it worse
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month

as of a year or so ago there was no nz reimbursement for weight indications at all, so check rather than taking that as current
how bad is the heat problem in january really

update from 19 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
dont order in january
july is easy
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 4 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, we shall see
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
slightly off topic but tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped

🙏7🎉2🧪16
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
what happened to people who were on a compounded version
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago
supply steadied here
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
follow up tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
🧪1🎉18👀2
anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
three gel packs
coming back to this anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 4 days
wouldnt risk reconstituted
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 99.2. one vial, one result

tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know

powder survived
