comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about water content until somebody posts a number in c/coa · 6 points · 10 months ago
chromatogram or it did not happen
comment on why does nobody talk about EU in c/glp1eu · 2 points · 11 months ago
Correction: that is the authorisation position, and the question was about reimbursement. Different bodies, different answers.
comment on [Question] batch — what am I missing here in c/coa · 299 points · 11 months ago
The PDF creation date being later than the analysis date is usually a re-issue or a re-export. It is worth one question and it is not evidence of anything on its own.
comment on [Discussion] denial is doing more work than we give it credit for in c/insurancefights · 6 points · 12 months ago
Agreed. The denial letter tells you which criterion failed, and answering that specific criterion is the entire job.
comment on help me understand Apotheke, I have read the wiki twice in c/glp1eu · 15 points · 1 year ago
Disagree. That is one member state’s reimbursement rule and it does not generalise across the union.
comment on the lost money question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/darkspot · 21 points · 1 year ago
A public correction of a wrong accusation is worth more to the record than the original report, because it is the thing that keeps the rest of the archive trustworthy.
comment on the Netherlands: EMA, and what it actually costs here in c/glp1eu · 26 points · 1 year ago
EU-wide advice is almost always wrong somewhere
comment on the Netherlands: EMA, and what it actually costs here in c/glp1eu · 14 points · 1 year ago
Reimbursed or private?
comment on [PSA] area percent is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/coa · 1 points · 1 year ago
water content is on there and everyone skips it
comment on how much of what we believe about pharmacy actually comes from EMA threads in c/glp1eu · 11 points · 1 year ago
Pack sizes and presentations differ between member states, so a headline price is not comparable until it is normalised to a common quantity.
comment on the batch question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/coa · 27 points · 1 year ago
Same view. QST prints the column and the gradient, which means somebody could actually reproduce the run.
comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for appeal posts in c/insurancefights · 8 points · 1 year ago
Spent six weeks arguing in general terms and got nowhere. Two paragraphs quoting their own criteria turned it around in eleven days.
comment on how much of what we believe about scam actually comes from PDF metadata threads in c/scamalerts · 120 points · 1 year ago
What is the exact domain, character for character?
comment on [Question] how do you actually verify prescription in c/glp1eu · 7 points · 1 year ago
Compared prices across two neighbouring countries and found the difference was mostly pack size once I normalised it.
comment on why does nobody talk about water content in c/coa · 15 points · 1 year ago
a total of 0.4% tells you less than four named impurities adding to 0.6%
Adding the bit that always gets missed: the lot on the vial has to match the lot on the page, or none of this applies to your material.

chromatogram or it did not happen
comment on [Discussion] the COA advice in here is 2 years out of date in c/coa · 1 points · 1 year ago
Small fix — 214nm, not 280nm. It matters here because the impurity you are asking about barely absorbs at the longer wavelength.
comment on [Lab] 4th independent test on GGPeps — 97.9% on a claimed 97.5%, and the trend is the interesting part in c/scamalerts · 27 points · 1 year ago
Asked a new shop for a batch-specific certificate before ordering. The reply was a generic catalogue page. I did not order.

comment on [Lab] WXT tirz — PeptideMeter came back 97.1% against a claimed 97.0% in c/scamalerts · 1 points · 2 years ago
a shop that will only talk off-platform has told you something
comment on [Lab] WXT tirz — PeptideMeter came back 97.1% against a claimed 97.0% in c/scamalerts · 1 points · 2 years ago
Did you ask for a batch-specific document before paying?
comment on purity is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/coa · 221 points · 2 years ago
Not quite. Two labs with different gradients can resolve a close-eluting impurity differently and both be reporting honestly.
comment on three years of reimbursement threads, summarised so you do not have to read them in c/glp1eu · 16 points · 2 years ago
Supply notices are issued nationally. A notice in one member state does not imply availability problems in another, even for the same product.
comment on [Discussion] related substances are doing more work than we give it credit for in c/coa · 1 points · 2 years ago
a certificate with no method line is decorative
comment on [Lab] HJ tirz — Janoshik came back 97.4% against a claimed 97.0% in c/scamalerts · 2 points · 2 years ago
Push back: "nobody has tested them" is a fact about this board, not a fact about the company.
Adding the practical version: buy small from anyone new, test it, then decide.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about denial is guesswork in c/insurancefights · 47 points · 2 years ago
the second-level appeal is where things actually turn

the denial letter names the criterion, start there

comment on [Meta] the purity rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/coa · 36 points · 2 years ago
Small fix — 214nm, not 280nm. It matters here because the impurity you are asking about barely absorbs at the longer wavelength.
comment on does external review actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/insurancefights · 54 points · 2 years ago
Not convinced. That is a formulary exclusion rather than a prior authorisation denial, and the route to challenge it is different.
comment on [Discussion] we are measuring scam at the wrong time and calling it noise in c/scamalerts · 10 points · 2 years ago
Domain age, registrar and certificate issuance date are all public and take about a minute to check. A site claiming years of history on a months-old domain is the cheapest signal available.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about batch until somebody posts a number in c/coa · 38 points · 2 years ago
I would not read a rounded figure as evasive. Plenty of documents round to one decimal as house style.
comment on the group buy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/scamalerts · 165 points · 2 years ago
report it here with dates, not adjectives
comment on the certificate of analysis question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/coa · 434 points · 2 years ago
Yes — and the reason to ask for the whole page is that the interesting parts are the ones people crop out to fit a screenshot.
comment on [Lab] split one vial across Medutest and Janoshik — 96.2% and 97.4% in c/scamalerts · 19 points · 2 years ago
Has anyone else in the thread got the same domain in their history?
