Cost per milligram, computed honestly across formats — a second dataset Writing it up because I had to work it out twice and would rather nobody else did.

Documenting an access outcome, dated, because everything in this category expires.

As of March 2026, in my region, the position is as described below. I have linked the primary source rather than a summary of it, because the summaries are consistently a year behind.

If anyone can confirm or contradict this for their own region, please date your answer. An undated claim in this category is worse than no claim.

Taking the opening post at face value and following it one step further.

Wastage from a concentration choice that leaves an unusable remainder is a real cost and is invisible in a per-milligram figure.

I have changed my mind on this once already, so take it as current rather than settled.

A cheaper option that arrives slowly has a cost in the form of running out, and people rarely price that.
