Tamiflu for the regular flu is the same way. You either take it in the first 48 hours or it’s essentially worthless.
Point being: there’s precedence for other meds and their effectiveness is based on how fast they’re taken.
Id take HCL in a second; I’d even take it as a prophylactic while flying if I could get any. That stuff is handed out like candy in Africa. Side effects well known.
