Highlights from this day
- reta_resting_hr — i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double 12:32

- van_isle_vial — for the archive cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border 14:03
- yyz_vial — the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so 14:24
is provincial coverage as much of a patchwork as it looks from outside

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 - 260pharmacy price in canada versus the us, is the gap as big as people claim
freezing not cooking
🔥13
my monthly cost with partial insurance came to about 120 canadian dollars, which is not a number anybody else can use
a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that
depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine
quebec seems to be different again, is that right

spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free
insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction
i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose
gel packs either direction
for the archive cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border
is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial
the difference between a diabetes diagnosis and a weight indication was the whole story in every province i read about
canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february
hold till march
did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back
the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so

the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly
how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont
i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february
