- chlorhex — transit was 20 days for me and the tracking went dark for a week in the middle, which is normal for that route 19:20

- ten_of_ten — is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia 20:49
- 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 the honest summary… 22:51
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
what does a pharmacist in australia say if you just ask about supply
member reported figure
nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
🎉1🙏1
pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
i keep a spare month in the fridge specifically because summer ordering down here is a gamble
wouldnt risk reconstituted
keep a spare month
pbs is diabetes only afaik
tga shortage notices were live for long stretches while i was following it. whether they are now i genuinely do not know
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 3 days
Digest for the week of 2026-02-16 has been published.
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia

anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
[edited]the depot is the problem
for the archive an nz member put their monthly cost at roughly 500 new zealand dollars in 2024. one person at one dose
temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it, ask me again in a month
update from 2 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down

is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
clinic versus pharmacy came out roughly even for me once the consult fees were counted in
genuine question are the rules in nz the same or completely separate
tga and the shortage notices, is that still going where people are
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in
❤️14🙏2
anyone in nz paying out of pocket and willing to say what it comes to
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
any pricing in this channel is a snapshot from whenever it was typed. australian prices moved a lot in two years, someone check my working
[edited]is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
did the compounding rule change actually stop everything or just the big places
is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia

a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 5 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me, ill dig out the number
*Medutest not the other one
i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise
pharmac hasnt funded it
cagri_curiousupdate from 2 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
did the compounders give any notice before they stopped
summer is the risk
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
how bad is the heat problem in january really

whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
does anyone hold off ordering between december and february
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
✅3
is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private
several members lost their compounded supply with roughly two months notice. that is the reported experience, not a rule i can quote at you
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
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it
i tested a vial after a summer transit out of pure paranoia and it came back 96.8. one vial, one result
