Many pharmaceutical substances out there are prepared as hydrochlorides, so that they can quickly be released into the gastrointestinal tract. The body will usually absorb a hydrochloride within fifteen or thirty minutes, making it a great substance to use to get medication into the body. Furthermore, a hydrochloride has a longer shelf life than most of their bases, meaning that it's also a substance that has the ability to preserve.
