    Exactly, what happens if Biota does not work for H5N1?


    "You should also keep in mind that not a single H5N1 patient has been treated with Relenza to date, and GSK seems in no hurry to conduct tests or place Relenza in a H5N1 hot spot. Despite positive animal studies, I think the fear is that it may not work as expected on humans because, by the time H5N1 symptoms are present, the virus has become systemic, rendering Tamiflu the preferred treatment option. Relenza's role in a potential pandemic is likely to be limited to protective use only, but even as a phrophylaxis, its role will be secondary to Tamiflu"
