Spain: PBS, and what it actually costs here

Question The Quiet One ×5 Sourced ×1

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 13 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.

Sweden here. Waited 15 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

unfunded-means-full-price is the NZ reality

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.

PBS listings change the cost completely

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

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with PBS, not with what you concluded.

u/arne_ndiaye17 points·5 months ago

This is correct. PBS listings matter.

u/blunt_coldbox_20240 points·5 months ago

Strongly agree. AU and NZ differ.

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

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

TGA shortage notices are temporary

shortage is different on the two sides

Strongly agree.

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
