New Zealand

the shortage thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. Asked the pharmacist to check the…

the Australia rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining. Short post, long comment section, probably. The compounded arrangements changed while I was…

AU pharmacy pricing, six months, three states. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. Checked the shortage database myself instead of reading…

Asking properly rather than in a comment on somebody else’s thread: someone explain shortage to me like I have not read a paper in years. Pharmacy-level availability…

Question in the title, detail here: how much of what we believe about TGA actually comes from New Zealand threads. Registration by the therapeutic goods regulator…

the compounding advice in here is 3 years out of date. Change my mind, genuinely — I have no stake in being right about this. 3 years. Those are measured, not…

AU and NZ get lumped together and the systems are nothing alike. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down. Checked the shortage database…
