Poland: shortage, and what it actually costs here
Poland: shortage, and what it actually costs here. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down.
Checked the shortage database myself instead of reading the coverage. Expected resolution date was right there and the panic thread was wrong.
Rang three pharmacies for a private price and got three different numbers, all in the same city.
Assumed the New Zealand position applied here. It does not, and someone corrected me politely with the actual source.
Tell me where this is wrong. That is the useful part of posting it.
best — the order this archive was captured in
The national shortage database is a primary source with expected resolution dates attached. It is public, searchable, and consistently more accurate than reporting about it.

Adding the quickest step — ask the pharmacist to check the wholesaler.
Australia and New Zealand are separate systems and get conflated weekly
What did the pharmacy quote for the private price?
say which state only if it matters, but always say which country
the price you pay depends on the listing status of your indication
Right, and the compounded supply position moved. Threads from two years ago are describing a different situation.
Australia and New Zealand have different regulators, different funding bodies and different arrangements. An answer for one is not evidence about the other.
Same. Private pricing varies here as much as anywhere and people assume it is fixed.
private script pricing varies by pharmacy here too
Someone posted US advice in an Australian thread and it took four replies to untangle it. Say your country.
Correction: that is the registration decision, not the subsidy listing. They are made by different bodies.
compounded supply arrangements changed and the threads have not caught up
Kept the script and the receipt for a private health claim and both were requested.
ask the pharmacy to check the wholesaler rather than guessing
Compounded supply arrangements have changed materially in recent years. Advice predating that change describes a situation that no longer applies.
Agreed that the published criteria are the authority. They are searchable and most people never look.
Careful, personal importation provisions are narrow and specific and the general version circulating here is wrong.
That is a pharmacy-level stock issue rather than a national supply issue. They feel identical and are not.
Read the published criteria for my indication rather than asking. Twenty minutes, and it answered everything I had been guessing at.
The compounded arrangements changed while I was mid-thread and I was arguing from a superseded position.
Personal importation provisions exist, are narrow, and carry conditions. Any summary of them here should be checked against the current official wording rather than a forum post.
This. New Zealand has its own regulator and its own funding decisions and the answers genuinely differ.
This.
Disagreeing with this bit: that advice predates the change in compounded arrangements.
keep the script and the receipt for private health claims
Personal importation provisions exist, are narrow, and carry conditions.
This is the distinction that makes the rest of the board legible.
That figure is a private price at one pharmacy, not a national one.
Cosigning on asking the pharmacy to check the wholesaler. It converts speculation into a fact in one phone call.
