Pros: Shortens the duration and symptoms of the common cold
Cons: Can cause burning and irritation of the nasal passages
Summary: I would never view myself as someone that would try a homeopathic cold remedy but try it I did and I have been thankful for giving Zicam Cold Remedy Homeopathic Nasal Gel (from here on referred to as Zicam)a chance ever since. ...

Pros: At the first sneeze this stuff works great.
Cons: Can be a little expensive and taste is not great. Zinc allergy beware!
Summary: I travel for my business so when I go abroad I take OTC meds with me just in case. Where I go you can't find many of the OTC things we get in the good ol' USA. I usually take Zicam with me just in case I think I could be getting a cold. It works great ...

Pros: Quick relief and almost cure of a cold.
Cons: Expensive.
Summary: I started using Zicam nasal gel about 2 years ago - soon after it came out. Bottom line is - it works. If you can't afford being down with a bad head cold that progresses into heavy chest congestion and sometimes pneumonia, use this stuff as directed. ...

Pros: Quick medicine. Shortens the duration and lessens the severity of 80% of my colds.
Cons: a little messy putting the gel up your nose. Not too bad though.
Summary: For colds, I used to just take a shot of one of the many night time cold medicines at bed time. For the past 2 years or so I've been using this product. The first time I used it I didn't start it at first symptoms and didn't get the max benefit from ...

Pros: Seems to work, keeps my sinuses from drying out.
Cons: can upset your stomach
Summary: I was introduced to Zicam by my doctor. I had been struggling with a head cold for 2 weeks during Christmas Shopping Insanity when I relented and went for help. I have a rule about colds because I know my doctor is going to try to foist antibiotics on ...

Pros: actually works for myself and family
Cons: not cheap
Summary: I have seen commercials for Zicam quite often for the last couple of years. I did not jump on the Zicam band wagon when I first heard of it because I just did not believe that it would help me at all. After I started getting a Summer cold a few weeks ago ...

Pros: Does exactly what it claims to do!
Cons: Burns a little. Messy.
Summary: When I woke with a scratchy throat and sneezing on Wednesday, I started using the Zicam Oral Mist that I had purchased previously. It tasted too nasty to keep using but it did lessen my symptoms right away. So I went back and bought the Nasal gel. (lots ...

Pros: Natural product that truly lessens duration and severity of cold symptoms.
Cons: May cause a bit of sneezing just following application, but very minor complaint.
Summary: I am here to report that I am Zicam's biggest fan. I was told about it by a co-worker and didn't pay much attention until I finally got sick. I remembered Zicam at that point, made my first purchase and have never looked back! It is not a nasal spray ...

Pros: Shortens colds and makes you sniffle less, too
Cons: Will burn your nose if you use it too much
Summary: So this one time I got a bit of a cold. I was sniffling and sneezing. My mother – the same one that recommends chicken soup – got me these cotton swabs covered in a clearish a snot. “Stick these up your nose for 30 seconds”, she claims. Now I know a ...

Pros: Shortens colds dramatically
Cons: If you buy cheap, you weep
Summary: I have two wonderful children who are both in school (and pre-school) and so I have many fantastic opportunities to test drive cold remedies. At first, I'll admit it sounded a little strange shoving a cone into my nose and squirting gel up into the ...

Pros: This is an amazingly, effective product.
Cons: The oral spray tastes really bad.
Summary: A friend at work told me about Zicam when I was already 2-3 days into a cold. Since it works best when used at the first sign of cold symptoms, I had my doubts, but I tried it anyway. When I went to the store they didn't have the nasal gel,

Pros: none
Cons: loss of taste and smell
Summary: I tried Zicam nasal gel at the onset of a cold. I experienced terrible burning and increased congestion, then almost complete loss of taste and smell. The ENT doctor had no solutions for me. I'd almost given up hope at ever enjoying food again when I

Pros: NONE
Cons: BURNING and loss of smell and taste
Summary: I used this product three days ago causing the most terrible burning in my nose, back of neck and nose cavities. I am very afraid that I might not be able to smell or taste again. THERE should be a warning label on the bottle!!!!!!!!! Does anyone have

Pros: NONE
Cons: LOSS OF SMELL!!!
Summary: I used this product for only a few days and now I have lost my sense of smell!!! This is no joke! I called the 800 number and they told me it was not because of their product. They said they had tested it on rats by giving them twice the amount of

Pros: I can't tell because I'm more congested from the irritation than I was before!
Cons: BUUUURRRRNNNNNIIIINNNNNGGGGGGG!!!!
Summary: I am not susceptible to much in the way of allergic reactions, but this stuff affected me in a way I would not wish on anyone. I took some of the nasal spray this morning and noticed a vague burning sensation in my sinuses. As I knew I was getting a
