Highlights from this day
- ten_of_ten — is there any reimbursement in nz at all or is it fully private as of a year or so ago there was no nz reimbursement for weight indications at all, so check rather… 21:39
- two_lifts_a_week — tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly 21:56
- two_lifts_a_week — i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner 21:59
- brisbane_bac — 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 22:11
- meniscus_mel — quick one anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here 22:55
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
did anyone stockpile before the compounding change came in

whats the pbs position, is it covered for weight at all
[edited]pharmac hasnt funded it

temperature controlled shipping into australia exists and the quote i got was more than the peptide
*Janoshik not the other one
the seasonal thing works both ways. a july parcel into australia is an easy parcel
three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
nz supply has tracked australian supply closely in everything members have reported. the two markets are not independent
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month, your mileage will differ
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly
reported by members, own currency, not comparable directly
private clinic, UK 145 - 220
statutory, DE 10 co-pay
private script, DE 180 - 240
pharmacy, PL 95 - 140
pharmacy, SE 210 - 260i pay for the fastest service in summer purely to shorten the hot part, not to get it any sooner

while im here nz members have consistently reported worse availability and higher prices than australia. that is anecdote, but it is repeated anecdote
july is easy
the compounding rule change happened and it did stop the pharmacies that were making it, based on what members reported here at the time
a parcel of mine sat in a queensland depot for 8 days in summer, and it tested fine afterwards, which surprised me
follow up the wait to see somebody was quoted to me as a few weeks privately and much longer publicly, when i asked in 2024
is nz supply tied to australian supply in practice
wouldnt risk reconstituted
i was wrong about the compounding change taking effect immediately, it was phased, and i had told three people otherwise
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

is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia
is there a temperature controlled option worth paying for into australia
summer is the risk
whats the wait like to see somebody about this in australia
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
what happened to people who were on a compounded version
anyone had a parcel sit in a hot depot for 5 days
an australian summer transit is the worst cold chain problem discussed in this channel and it is not close
[edited]dont order in january
the depot is the problem
that was a year ago
⚠️1📉1
the last leg to a rural address is where it bakes. the depot and the van are hotter than the plane ever was
pbs is diabetes only afaik
medsafe not tga
quick one anyone tested a vial after a summer transit down here
😂4🙏2
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
keep a spare month
three gel packs
pharmac in new zealand, has anything moved on funding
supply steadied here
the honest summary for australia is that the rules changed under people mid treatment and the room is still sore about it, someone check my working
coming back to this insulated pouch, gel packs frozen solid, fastest leg you can buy. that is the whole summer protocol as this room has it
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
shipping into an australian summer, what do people actually do about it
