comment on [Pricing] UK private prescription pricing, monthly tracker, no affiliate links in c/glp1uk · 8 points · 2 days ago
The tier 3 pathway in my area: 22 month wait, then 24 months for review, then approved.
Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.
comment on [Math] 10mg vial + 2mL bac water, i want 2.5mg, how many units in c/reconstitution · 29 points · 2 days ago
Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with units, not with what you concluded.
comment on sterile water is not bacteriostatic water and it is not close in c/reconstitution · 19 points · 4 days ago
Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.
Disagree on that part. 97.9% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.

Are you using a u-100 or u-40 syringe? That changes everything.
comment on [Trial Data] what the STEP 4 and SURMOUNT-4 withdrawal arms actually showed in c/tapering · 4 points · 5 days ago
the UK here. Waited 9 months on a list, gave up, went private, and the total cost was roughly what I expected.
comment on sterile water is not bacteriostatic water and it is not close in c/reconstitution · 42 points · 6 days ago
Yeah, showing the arithmetic is the fastest way for someone to spot the error.
Disagree on that part. 99.1% and 99.2% on the same vial is normal.

The confident tone is doing a lot of work that the evidence is not.
comment on [NHS] specialist service discharged me at goal and my GP will not continue it in c/glp1uk · 1 points · 6 days ago
Boots stock check: called 23 locations in Germany, 26 had 7.5mg in stock. Regional variation is real.

Boots stock check: called 12 locations in France, 15 had 15mg in stock. Regional variation is real.

The tier 3 pathway in my area: 3 month wait, then 30 months for review, then approved. Total pricing.
Confession thread, sort of. I went from 7.5mg to 2.4mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 4 weeks…
comment on [Question] interval stretching vs dose reduction — is either better in c/tapering · 15 points · 9 days ago
Strongly agree. The regain is expected.
comment on [Private Rx] switched pharmacies mid-titration and had to restart the ladder in c/glp1uk · 4 points · 11 days ago
private prescription routes vary by region
comment on how long until i should expect anything to change in c/newbiequestions · 11 points · 19 days ago
Pens or research vials?
comment on [Meta] the tapering rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/tapering · 1 points · 20 days ago
the regain is treatment of chronic condition ending, not failure
comment on reading pricing threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly in c/glp1uk · 9 points · 1 months ago
The tier 3 pathway in my area: 17 month wait, then 26 months for review, then approved. Total MHRA.
comment on [Discussion] appetite return is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/tapering · 40 points · 1 months ago
comment on is it normal to get injection-site soreness at week 10 in c/glp1uk · 185 points · 1 months ago
Half-life is about 168 hours, so steady state lands around week 6–5. Practical consequence: what you feel in week 1 is not what that dose does.
comment on tried MHRA for 13 weeks. here is what happened. in c/glp1uk · 22 points · 1 months ago
Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.
