a lyophilised vial that froze in transit is almost certainly fine. a reconstituted one that froze is a different matter

update from 1 months ago: my province still does not cover it and my plan started to, partially, i think
thirteen questions not one

follow up do canadian pharmacies stock it reliably
i compared a canadian pharmacy quote against an american one on the same dose and the american one was more than double
freeze thaw cycling is the concern rather than one freeze, and that is my read of it rather than a lab result
an alberta member and a nova scotia member compared notes and neither of them could believe the other one
does private insurance cover it in canada or only some plans
freezing not cooking
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 - 260that was a pilot not policy
for the archive quebec seems to be different again, is that right
member reported 2024
anyone in the prairies with a long last leg in february
canadian pharmacy pricing was well below the american equivalent in every comparison members have made in here
i hold orders between january and march where i can. a preference, not a rule anybody gave me, from memory

any figure in this channel is dated. canadian pricing and coverage both moved while i was reading about them
hold till march
the truck is the risk
while im here cross border out of canada rarely makes sense because canada is usually the cheaper side of that particular border
the last leg across the prairies in february is the risk. the flight is heated and the truck is not
the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that
i had a parcel sit in an unheated depot at minus eighteen for two days and the powder tested fine
a frozen and thawed reconstituted vial is the one thing i would not use, and i cannot point you at a study for that

how long is transit into canada running
has anyone compared a canadian pharmacy price to an american one properly
❤️2👍6🙏4
the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly
six weeks of stock

gel packs either direction
does anyone hold their orders between december and march

powder survived a freeze
postal in winter
quick one spring ordering is easier and if you can wait, waiting is free

wouldnt use a thawed solution
i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy
private plans vary by employer more than by province. two members with the same job title got different answers
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
diabetes covered, weight not

transit was 23 days for me with a week of nothing in the middle at a customs facility
cheaper than the us
the depot delay in winter runs longer than in summer and that is the part people do not plan for
genuine question depot delays in january, has anyone had a parcel sit out in the cold
has anyone had a vial actually freeze in transit
how do people insulate against cold rather than against heat
