dont order in january
whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all
are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it, still working it out
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
anyone shipping to a rural australian address, does the last leg kill it
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
follow up tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel, happy to be corrected
Testing queue: 6 submissions open, 81 awaiting dispatch.
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 2 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me
nz has it worse
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose, i could be wrong
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 97.4. one vial, one result
Recon calculator: 15mg in 5ml = 5mg/ml.
transit was 25 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
