Thanks for posting that. My memory was wrong about the frequency because I do something slightly different. My weight is about 80 kg which implies 16 mg, twice weekly or 32 mg/week. I use 12 mg tablets so I take 3 per week (Tu-Th-Sa) or 36 mg/week which is ~10% over their recommendation.

If I recall correctly, they increase the dosage for treating patients actually diagnosed with covid. I believe the protocol is twice the preventative dosage and taken daily for 5 days, longer if symptoms persist. My wife recently contracted covid the first time ever (she had not been following the prevention protocol), so I took one 12 mg tablet daily for 5 days and did not contract it. She had a mild case and recovered in about a week. I believe they have even higher dosage protocols for people in more advanced stages.
