- ten_of_ten — for the archive i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble 20:11
- pbs_pip — 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 20:12
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 98.1. one vial, one result
ok so tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
ok so three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in, i could be wrong
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent

tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide, n of 1 obviously
[edited]the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
[edited]is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 9 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, someone check my working
[edited]insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it, i could be wrong
pbs is diabetes only afaik
member reported figure
✅8
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
how bad is the heat problem in january really
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month, i could be wrong
i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent, thats one data point
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years
