genuine question about New Zealand that I am slightly embarrassed to ask
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on New Zealand in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
AU or NZ?
the 2024 compounding rule change closed a major route overnight
This is correct. PBS listings matter.
That is net peptide content, not purity. Different number, different meaning.
the regulatory PBS is the blocker
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

TGA shortage notices are temporary
compounding status changed mid-2024
no naming compounders operating against current rules

Disagree on that part. 98.1% and 98.3% on the same vial is normal.
TGA shortage notices are temporary
Small correction: the trial was 20 weeks, not 16. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
unfunded-means-full-price is the NZ reality
Maintenance for 8 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.
PBS listings change the cost completely
Mechanistically the bit that matters is New Zealand. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
TGA watches change monthly, follow the list
unfunded-means-full-price is the NZ reality
The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet. Not the appetite, the quiet. The constant negotiation in my head about food just stopped.
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
