gel packs either direction
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial
i keep six weeks of stock going into winter rather than four, and that came out of one bad february
the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not
any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them
winter shipping, is freezing the actual risk rather than heat
update from 25 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially
coverage in canada is provincial and it is a patchwork. what a member in one province reported has almost never matched another
cheaper than the us

an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose
the depot delay in winter runs longer than in summer and that is the part people do not plan for
nobody here can tell you what your plan covers. plans differ inside the same province, never mind between them, thats one data point
the freezing worry is more room theory than published data for these specific compounds and we should keep saying so
while im here insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction

how do people insulate against cold rather than against heat
depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february
right so quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago
i ask for gel packs even in january because the mass slows the temperature swing, not because it warms anything
check your plan
i hold orders between january and march where i can. a preference, not a rule anybody gave me
what does a month cost in canadian dollars at a pharmacy

freezing not cooking
right so there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time
how does coverage work if you have diabetes versus if you dont
has anyone had a vial actually freeze in transit

i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double
its provincial
