wouldnt use a thawed solution

postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours

a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter, i have it written down somewhere

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

spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free

slightly off topic but did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back

i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy

quick one quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago

private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers
the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly

update on the earlier thing what does a month cost in canadian dollars at a pharmacy

diabetes covered, weight not

i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine, thats one data point

the canada to us gap was reported at roughly a third to a half of the us price a year or two ago, and that will have moved

transit was 22 days for me with a week of nothing in the middle at a customs facility, from memory

is it worth just waiting until spring to order

for the archive do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably

a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that
