Highlights from this day
- month_six_me — three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine 15:45
- two_lifts_a_week — slightly off topic but lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it, thats one data point 16:12
- void_volume — a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month an australian summer transit is the… 17:11
- meniscus_mel — slightly off topic but i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft 17:47
- pharmac_pen — a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 5 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me 18:00
supply steadied here
update on the earlier thing whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble

ok so the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
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
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 5 days
right so the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time, i have it written down somewhere
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 98.6. one vial, one result

slightly off topic but does the pbs cover it for diabetes but not for weight
how bad is the heat problem in january really
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose

is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
unrelated but people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
sorry to jump in update from 16 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly, someone check my working
is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
the depot is the problem
nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation
check thats still true
member reported figure
that was a year ago

summer is the risk
unrelated but what happened to people who were on a compounded version
