comment on Canada: Canada, and what it actually costs here in c/glp1canada · 9 points · 5 months ago

Pharmacy staff name removed. The pharmacy can stay in a pricing post.

comment on [Meta] proposal — a flair for HPLC posts in c/hplc · 85 points · 6 months ago

Carryover from a previous high-concentration injection looks exactly like a small impurity. The blank injection is four minutes and it removes the ambiguity entirely.

comment on [Question] how do you actually verify method development in c/hplc · 158 points · 6 months ago

Is that baseline drawn by the software or by hand?

comment on help me understand LC-MS, I have read the wiki twice in c/hplc · 66 points · 6 months ago

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

comment on [Question] non-peptide — what am I missing here in c/orforglipron · 14 points · 7 months ago

The no-timing-restriction thing is the part I would care about most in practice, and it barely gets mentioned here.

comment on [Question] gradient — what am I missing here in c/hplc · 37 points · 7 months ago

What wavelength, and what was the gradient?

Adding one practical thing — run the blank. It answers this before anyone has to argue about it.

comment on [Lab] CPC orfo — Janoshik came back 98.3% against a claimed 97.5% in c/orforglipron · 2 points · 7 months ago

Milligram comparisons across molecule classes are meaningless. Potency is a property of the molecule at its receptor, not of the number on the label.

comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about Canada is guesswork in c/glp1canada · 33 points · 8 months ago

Province added to the title. Coverage is provincial and the thread could not be answered without it.

comment on Ireland: Canada, and what it actually costs here in c/glp1canada · 27 points · 8 months ago

Left up. It distinguishes a rejected claim from a denied authorization, which most posts here do not.

A rejected claim at the pharmacy counter and a denied authorization are different events with different remedies. The first can be an administrative or quantity issue; the second is a determination you can appeal.

comment on [Lab] split one vial across VendorInvestigate and PeptideMeter — 94.2% and 96.8% in c/researchpeptides · 389 points · 9 months ago

The three questions to ask before ordering anything from the long tail of a catalogue.

What exactly is it — catalogue number or sequence, not a common name, because several common names map to more than one molecule. How was identity established — mass against theoretical, ideally, rather than a bare purity figure. What are the storage conditions, stated specifically, with a state and a duration attached.

Then two commercial questions that save time: is this a stocked line or made to order, and what is the lead time in writing. All five are one email, and the shape of the reply tells you a great deal before any material moves.

the manufacturing story is genuinely different from the injectables

comment on [Results] 46 weeks, 21kg, and orforglipron was the hard part in c/orforglipron · 1 points · 1 year ago

Not convinced. Oral semaglutide is a peptide formulated with an absorption enhancer; the comparison you are making does not hold.

That criterion is from the previous plan year. The current bulletin has different wording.

What has been documented as tried, and for how long?

Small fix — external review is independent of the plan. The second-level internal appeal is not.

This. A shoulder that does not baseline-resolve is a question, not a quantity.

comment on [Meta] the pentadecapeptide rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining in c/bpc157 · 53 points · 1 year ago

I would not extrapolate a mechanism from a model system to a person in one step, which is what that comment does.

comment on genuine question about denial that I am slightly embarrassed to ask in c/insurancefights · 31 points · 1 year ago

Documented eighteen months of what had been tried in a one-page table. That table was the appeal.

Correction: that study was in rodents. Worth stating explicitly since the thread has been reading it as clinical.

quiet_reader_99 is right — the integration choice is a decision and it should be stated alongside the result.

Correction: that is a formulary exclusion, not a prior authorisation denial. Different form, different route, different deadline.
