Highlights from this day
- cold_pack_carla — a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 5 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me 19:30
- cold_pack_carla — tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are 20:02
- swirl_not_shake — i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner 20:21
update from 19 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation, for what its worth
transit was 22 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route
coming back to this did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly

the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose

right so tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
pharmac hasnt funded it

pharmac had not funded it for weight when i last read about it and the nz members in here were all paying privately
[edited]several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you, for what its worth
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
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 2 days
the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
