did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places

Highlights from this day
- dublin_dose — clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in 17:04
- apob_over_ldl — right so a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 3 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me 17:41
- pbs_pip — the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw as of a year or so ago there was no nz reimbursement… 18:11
- meniscus_mel — what happened to people who were on a compounded version 20:49
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
right so anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
medsafe not tga

is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
that was a year ago
wouldnt risk reconstituted
dont order in january
australian figures members reported ran from about 130 to 400 a month depending on route and dose, as of about a year ago
member reported figure
i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in

are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
sorry to jump in coming back after 13 months, is supply any better in australia now
insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it

anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
july is easy

the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
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

people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
genuine question pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
check thats still true
the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 7 days
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 99.2. one vial, one result
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
three gel packs
ok so nobody here can tell you what is allowed in australia and the mods will stop that conversation
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month, i think

coming back to this the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you

nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
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
update from 25 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
ok so i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
keep a spare month
summer is the risk
what happened to people who were on a compounded version

temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
