comment on amylin is not a GLP-1 and the co-agonism story is more interesting than the weight number in c/cagrilintide · 7 points · 1 days ago
tendon and co-agonism literature in rodents is interesting
comment on [Win] four denials, three appeals, one external review, approved in c/insurancefights · 2 points · 2 days ago
This is correct. Appeal letters work.
comment on [Meta] how the ranking actually works, with the formula in c/meta · 289 points · 2 days ago
The controversial formula is the interesting one and I want to explain why for anyone who skimmed it.
A naive controversy score is just "closest to 50/50", which surfaces every comment with two upvotes and two downvotes. Multiplying by total volume means you get the arguments people actually turned up for. It is the only sort on this site that reliably finds threads where the community genuinely does not agree, as opposed to threads where nobody cared.
comment on [Log] week 78, dose, weight, waist, sides, labs. nothing hidden. in c/dosinglogs · 50 points · 2 days ago
Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.
comment on TB-500 and Thymosin Beta-4 are not the same product and vendors know that in c/researchpeptides · 1 points · 2 days ago
This is correct. Name it precisely.
comment on [Meta] should titration questions get a megathread or is that overkill in c/newbiequestions · -3 points · 3 days ago
sorted by controversial as always: I think the wiki is genuinely bad and that's the actual reason people don't use it instead of asking, not a visibility problem

Strongly agree. Update rather than repost.

What are you comparing it against though?
comment on [Update] week 44 — first stall in eleven months in c/dosinglogs · 44 points · 5 days ago
include dose and date on every update
comment on [NHS] specialist service discharged me at goal and my GP will not continue it in c/glp1uk · 1 points · 7 days ago
NHS or private?
comment on [Win] approved after i sent them their own policy criteria back in c/insurancefights · 4 points · 8 days ago
New Zealand plan: step therapy required 5 medications first. Did them all, got approval. The order matters.

Copay was step therapy for the copay then another 7% of the total. Read the actual plan document.

step therapy documentation is the weapon, use it
comment on [Question] how do you verify identity when there is no reference standard in c/researchpeptides · 1 points · 9 days ago
name the compound precisely, TB-500 and Thymosin Beta-4 are not the same
comment on three years of special authorization threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/glp1canada · 1 points · 13 days ago
What was the batch number and which service?
comment on shortage: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/glp1aus · 2 points · 14 days ago
Cite the TGA notice?
comment on [PSA] semaglutide salt forms are not the same molecule as semaglutide in c/compounding · 68 points · 17 days ago
API source questions are on-topic and compounders dodging them is newsworthy
comment on [Caution] not approved anywhere. keep posts descriptive. in c/cagrilintide · 27 points · 21 days ago
Dead space in the needle hub holds a small but non-trivial volume. On low-volume draws that can be several units.
comment on shortage is the most under-discussed thing in c/glp1science in c/glp1aus · 10 points · 23 days ago
the regulatory Australia is the blocker

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.
