I continued for the next 6 hours to take two more (as it indicated to take it every 3 hours) and went to sleep. Now I woke up with a SEVERE cold with loss of taste and smell and stuffy nose etc... I’m not sure I get the marketing here- “take zicam when you spot early symptoms of a cold” — only to get that severe cold you didn’t want in the first place?? <br />Dear Zicam providers- does your medicine make the cold go away, or does it first make it much harsher? Then, you HAVE TO continue taking your crappy medicine in order to make it go away? I smell a lawsuit coming your way, if this cold doesn’t leave my body in less than 2 days- as that’s the whole reason I started taking your crappy dissolving pills in the first place due to your false advertising!!

Zicam is one of those more natural remedies that can give the body more of what it needs to fight a cold than the body normally gets. Sure, there is some chemistry involved, but it is made up of far more natural ingredients than any prescription or over-the-counter medications.<br /><br />Many people have tried Zicam and swear by it. Personally, I'd rather give it a try and be done with my cold in less than a week than to hear people complain about homeopathic remedies such as Zicam, but then continue to complain about the cold they've had for over a month. <br /><br />As far as not drinking citrus after taking Zicam... naturopathic remedies need some time to get into the blood stream. The longer the remedy can stay in the mouth, the better chance of it working as it was designed. Given that every cold my body has "tried" to get the past couple of years is gone in less than a week is testament enough for me to keep using Zicam. <br /><br />For those of you with minds open enough to check out homeopathic/naturopathic medicine, just remember to call the doctor when it makes sense. Zicam might help the body fight the common cold, but it will do nothing for a sinus infection, bronchitis, or pneumonia.<br /><br />It is nice stuff. And it will always be in my medicine cabinet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
