Highlights from this day
- provincial_pat — a member in the territories reported everything arriving eventually and nothing arriving quickly 21:39
- typosquat_tay — canadian pharmacies stocked it reliably in the periods members reported on, better than the uk did at the same time 22:30
- reta_resting_hr — freeze thaw cycling is the concern rather than one freeze, and that is my read of it rather than a lab result 22:43
insulating against cold is the same kit as insulating against heat. the pack is a buffer in either direction
six weeks of stock
an ontario member reported around 350 canadian dollars a month at a pharmacy in 2024. one price at one dose
that was a pilot not policy
an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one
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 - 260any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them

*Janoshik not the other one
there is no national picture. asking what canada does is asking thirteen questions at the same time
the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not
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
postal handled winter better than the courier for me, mostly because the courier van sat outside for hours
follow up did anyone get stopped at the border bringing it back

is there a national picture at all or is it entirely provincial
is a frozen lyophilised vial ruined or is that fine

quebec has its own drug plan and it worked differently from the rest in everything i read a year ago
the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that
the depot delay in winter runs longer than in summer and that is the part people do not plan for

update from 13 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially, someone check my working
the depot delay in winter runs longer than in summer and that is the part people do not plan for
