ZICAM

ZICAM® is an over-the-counter nasal solution and cold remedy that claims to reduce the symptoms and duration of the common cold. Zicam is sprayed or swabed directly onto the nasal surface.

Several users have reported an intense burning sensation in the nasal cavitiy immediately after using the Zicam spray. This has been followed by a loss of smell long after their cold symptoms cleared up. Known as "anosmia", this condition can also greatly decrease the ability to taste.

Zicam contains the active ingredient Zincum Gluconicum (also known as as Zinc Gluconate), that is believed to cause a caustic action on the nasal passages and lead to a loss of smell. Although it has been known for decades that zinc compounds can cause nasal nerve damage, Zicam has failed to provide adequate warnings to the public.

Zicam is manufactured by Matrixx and claims no side effects caused by their Zicam sprays. Matrixx sells millions of products each year including Zicam Cold Remedy, Zicam Allergy Relief, Zicam Maximum Strength Flu, and more.
