Overview — page 3 of 3

comment on stalled for 6 weeks at 15mg and I refuse to panic this time in c/sideeffects · 1 points · 1 year ago

reflux at night, try not eating in the three hours before bed

Adding to this — holding the dose rather than stepping is the option people forget they have.

comment on someone explain special authorization to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/glp1canada · 20 points · 1 year ago

Yes. Approval and coverage are separate, and this board conflates them in about half its threads.

comment on why does nobody talk about copay in c/insurancefights · 2 points · 1 year ago

Push back: your plan is an employer plan, which changes both the appeal path and who the regulator is.

comment on the LC-MS question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/hplc · 348 points · 1 year ago

System suitability — repeat injections, tailing factor, plate count, RSD on area — is what tells you the instrument was fit for the measurement that day. Without it, the purity figure is unanchored.

comment on [PSA] Janoshik results are area% by default and people keep forgetting in c/vendorvetting · 180 points · 1 year ago

a directory entry is a record, not a recommendation

comment on [PSA] Janoshik results are area% by default and people keep forgetting in c/vendorvetting · -30 points · 1 year ago

Is that from the source page log or from memory?

permalink

comment on [PSA] Janoshik results are area% by default and people keep forgetting in c/vendorvetting · 21 points · 1 year ago

Mild pushback: a supplier with fewer entries is not worse, it is less sampled. Those are different claims and the table says so.

Kept a spreadsheet of quoted versus actual lead time across 21 orders. The quoted number held.

the wider-market names in the table are there because nobody has enough data on them

comment on [Question] Sweden — has anyone got a straight answer on Apotheke in c/glp1eu · 114 points · 1 year ago

Asked in my own language at a local pharmacy and got a clearer answer in five minutes than a fortnight of forum reading.

comment on nobody warned me about sulphur burps and I would have liked the warning in c/sideeffects · 64 points · 1 year ago

Same pattern here. It settled at a stable dose without me doing anything clever.

comment on [Question] chromatogram — what am I missing here in c/hplc · 3 points · 1 year ago

area percent is relative to what the detector saw and nothing else

comment on the Netherlands: private plan, and what it actually costs here in c/glp1canada · 30 points · 1 year ago

Quantity limits restrict how much may be dispensed in a period even where coverage exists. They are a distinct barrier and require a distinct request.

permalink

comment on [Question] how do you actually verify prescription in c/glp1eu · 39 points · 1 year ago

Marketing authorisation is granted centrally for these products; reimbursement, pricing and prescribing criteria are national competences.

mei_cardoso is right about cross-border recognition being narrower than the summaries suggest.

comment on [Discussion] LC-MS is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/hplc · 26 points · 1 year ago

I would not blame the sample yet. Everything you have described is consistent with the column rather than the vial.

a shoulder is not an impurity until you can resolve it

comment on [Discussion] nausea is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/sideeffects · 2 points · 1 year ago

Nothing in this thread is medical advice, including this comment. I am describing a mechanism, not telling anybody what to do about their own week.

permalink

comment on how much of what we believe about lane actually comes from shipping threads in c/intlshipping · 87 points · 1 year ago

Total transit decomposes into first mile, international leg, clearance and last mile. Only the first two are meaningfully under the shipper’s control and most reported variance sits in the last two.

comment on formulary — 11 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/glp1canada · 65 points · 1 year ago

Disagree — that is your province’s formulary position and it does not carry to another.

permalink

comment on genuine question about nausea that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/sideeffects · 229 points · 1 year ago

Most of the common complaints trace back to slowed gastric emptying — early fullness, reflux, nausea after a large or fatty meal.

sofia_wikstrom is right about the timing. The day-of-week pattern is the diagnostic bit, not the severity.

comment on [Lab] HJ tirz — Janoshik came back 97.8% against a claimed 97.0% in c/vendorvetting · 63 points · 1 year ago

reship policy in writing before the order, not after

comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about Medutest until somebody posts a number in c/vendorvetting · 134 points · 1 year ago

Inter-lab variance on this assay runs a point or two either way. Two services disagreeing by that much is agreement, not a discrepancy, and treating it otherwise starts pointless arguments.

permalink

comment on the pharmacy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/glp1eu · 594 points · 1 year ago

Marketing authorisation is granted centrally for these products; reimbursement, pricing and prescribing criteria are national competences. Those are decided by different bodies with different processes.

comment on help me understand method development, I have read the wiki twice in c/hplc · 69 points · 2 years ago

retention time alone is not identity

permalink

comment on my TSH moved and I cannot work out whether sulphur burps are why in c/sideeffects · 127 points · 2 years ago

if it is severe or persistent that is a clinician question, not a board question

permalink

comment on the packaging thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/intlshipping · 107 points · 2 years ago

Disagree. That is a customs hold, not a carrier delay, and lumping them together makes the lane table wrong.

permalink

comment on [Discussion] we are measuring appeal at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/insurancefights · 3 points · 2 years ago

Appeal deadlines run from the date on the determination letter. They are strict, they are short, and a missed deadline usually forfeits that level entirely.

permalink

comment on [Question] testing — what am I missing here in c/vendorvetting · 679 points · 2 years ago

Fixing my own comment above: I said 3 orders and it is 28. The pattern is the same, the count was wrong.

permalink

comment on the lane thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down in c/intlshipping · 38 points · 2 years ago

Posted my first lane report here without the month and got asked for it. Fair, and the table is better for the fussiness.

permalink

comment on what changed for me between month 8 and month 12 in c/sideeffects · 195 points · 2 years ago

Agreed. Slowing down at meals did more for my sulphur burps than everything I bought to fix it, which was embarrassing to discover.

permalink

comment on [Question] lane — what am I missing here in c/intlshipping · 42 points · 2 years ago

Yes — regional stock is the single biggest variable and it barely gets mentioned outside this board.

comment on [Question] is 94.2% actually fine or am I being sold a rounding error in c/hplc · 1 points · 2 years ago

the column has a history and it shows in the peak shape

permalink

comment on [Question] is 94.2% actually fine or am I being sold a rounding error in c/hplc · 315 points · 2 years ago

Same method at both labs, or two different gradients?

permalink

comment on [Question] is 94.2% actually fine or am I being sold a rounding error in c/hplc · 626 points · 2 years ago

Did you run a blank between injections?

Agreed. And the corollary is that the method line on a certificate is not decoration, it is the number’s provenance.

comment on how much of what we believe about hair loss actually comes from gallbladder threads in c/sideeffects · 78 points · 2 years ago

Is it every week or did it start at a particular dose?

comment on DHL is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/intlshipping · 27 points · 2 years ago

rigid outer packaging is the cheapest quality signal there is

comment on [Question] how do you actually verify hair loss in c/sideeffects · 442 points · 2 years ago

the injection-site soreness that arrives at week 85 out of nowhere is usually something else

permalink

comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about HPLC until somebody posts a number in c/hplc · -18 points · 2 years ago

Area percent is the integrated area of your peak over the total integrated area at one wavelength on one gradient. Change any of those and the number changes without the sample changing.
