- glasgow_vial — how bad is the heat problem in january really 18:59
- lean_mass_lex — the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024 19:52
- dose_down_dara — how long is transit into australia running at the moment 20:22
- meniscus_mel — anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it 20:44
the pharmacist i asked was straightforward about supply and had no idea about anything else, which is fair enough
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
july is easy

coming back after 22 months, is supply any better in australia now

summer is the risk
the depot is the problem
nz has it worse
ok so anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago, thats just me
wouldnt risk reconstituted
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was, i think
dont order in january
is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
check thats still true
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
what happened to people who were on a compounded version
the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024

australian pricing, whats a realistic monthly figure
what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close

member reported figure
right so nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote, still working it out
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years

temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it

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
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 3 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped
transit was 11 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route, thats just me
is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
pharmac hasnt funded it
[edited]quick one an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
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
supply steadied here
slightly off topic but tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know, your mileage will differ
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
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
nz has it worse
💀10❤️9
that was a year ago
did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft, ill dig out the number
