how much of what we believe about New Zealand actually comes from compounding threads

PBS Clean Column ×7 Slow Clap ×3

how much of what we believe about New Zealand actually comes from compounding threads. If this has been answered properly somewhere, link me and I will delete.

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.

Australia and New Zealand have different regulators, different funding bodies and different arrangements. An answer for one is not evidence about the other.

Compounded supply arrangements have changed materially in recent years. Advice predating that change describes a situation that no longer applies.

Please do not ask me what dose you should be on. I genuinely do not know and neither does anyone else here.

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.

Rang three pharmacies for a private price and got three different numbers, all in the same city.

the Medsafe position in New Zealand is its own thing entirely

a streamlined authority code is not the same as a general listing

Assumed the New Zealand position applied here. It does not, and someone corrected me politely with the actual source.

Registration by the therapeutic goods regulator establishes that a product may be supplied. Subsidy listing is a separate decision about public funding, with its own criteria and its own timetable.

Someone posted US advice in an Australian thread and it took four replies to untangle it. Say your country.

That figure is a private price at one pharmacy, not a national one.

PBS listing and TGA registration are two different questions

Small fix — that is the New Zealand arrangement, and the question is about Australia.

Not convinced. That is the New Zealand position and the thread is asking about Australia.
