My husband who has suffered from allergies all his life, finely went to the doctor to see about prescription strength medications. He was so tired of always being congested and after much convincing he finally broke down and went to the doctor. To his surprise the doctor suggested that he take Zicam Allergy Relief as opposed to many prescription (and expensive) brands.
He tried it and he loved the results! Zicam gave him fast relief from his congestion and he could finally breathe good through his nose again. Now when I had a common cold I decided to try the Zicam product that suited my needs which was Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel. Not only did it give me almost instant relief but it helped get me over my cold much faster then normal.
There is a large selection of Zicam products for different needs and you should be able to find the right one for you. Here is a list of the different Zicam formulas available without a prescription ….

All the Zicam products that I listed cost between $9.99 – $12.99. When compared to many prescription strength medications similar to Zicam products, Zicam is a great deal. It also work better then several name brand products for allergies and other nasal sprays for congestion relief.
Although Zicam has been in the news recently with reports of anosmia that was caused by the nasal spray. Anosmia is a total or partial loss of smell and taste. Also there have been reports of extreme burning in the nose after using the nasal spray.
With lawsuits pending over Zicam homeopathic zinc cold remedy it is wise to talk to your doctor before taking it. The manufacturer (Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. and Zicam LLC.) of Zicam have agreed to pay $12 million to settle 340 lawsuit that were placed against them in 2006.
Zicam has been a leading popular line of products that has grossed millions every year since its debut. With so many people always looking for a quick fix to feel better they are eager to try just about anything. Keep in mind however that excessive absorption of zinc can suppress copper and iron absorption and be harmful to your body. We all need a certain level of zinc in our body to remain healthy, but to much is harmful!
The manufactures of Zican products assure its users that their products meet all FDA guidelines on homeopathic medicine. While there have been investigations on their products they continue to be sold nationwide. So when you use any nasal products make sure that you use them according to the instructions!
