switched from 1.7mg to 1.0mg and the constipation got better, not worse

Discussion Well Actually ×1

Genuinely asking, not being difficult.

Everyone in c/insurancefights repeats that shortage is important. I believe it, but I have never seen anyone show why, and when I search I get 22 threads of people agreeing with each other.

Is there a paper? Is there a measurement? Or is this one of those things that is true because it has been repeated since 2023?

I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source.

Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.

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

This is correct. PBS listings matter.

Maintenance for 14 months now. Weight moves within about 3kg and the dose is a quarter of what it peaked at.

Maintenance for 14 months now.

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.

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

the UK here. Waited 21 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.

Not to be pedantic but TGA and Australia are being used interchangeably and they are not interchangeable in real life.

You have restated the marketing copy. What is the actual substance here.

PBS/TGA claims need the notice or schedule entry

Australia is different on the two sides

AU or NZ?

Yeah, the 2024 rule change was sudden.
