TGA: the version I wish someone had shown me in week 1

Pricing Cold Box ×4 Slow Clap ×2

Quick one. Canada here.

Australia works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice that simply does not apply outside the US.

Specifics: the route I used took 9 weeks and cost roughly what I expected. The admin was worse than the cost. The thing that would have saved me the most time was knowing which document to ask for at the start.

Happy to answer questions from anyone in the same jurisdiction.

This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.

Yeah, the 2024 rule change was sudden.

Small correction: the trial was 15 weeks, not 8. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

the 2024 compounding rule change closed a major route overnight

What is the PBS status?

What is the PBS status?

Adding to this: shortage is doing more work than the comment implies.

Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

TGA shortage notices are temporary

That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.

New Zealand is different on the two sides

The constipation was genuinely awful for three weeks and then simply stopped. I know that is not useful information, but it is what happened.

Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.
