Less severe colds
16 people found this helpful
One of the best preventative over-the-counter medications for colds. Zinc and EmergenC before the onset of a cold result in a less severe cold. My non-scientific conclusion after years of using Zicam is that when I sense a cold developing, my colds haven't lasted more than a day. When I feel that odd sensation in my nose or throat, I start taking Zicam every 4-5 hours, alongside one pack of EmergenC daily with plenty of water. I repeat this for no more than two days. Once the cold hits, I stop Zicam and only take vitamin C and water. I've found this method effective for the past five years, leading to relatively mild colds. However, I wouldn't recommend taking Zicam after a cold has set in.

Miracle cure

This feels like some sort of miracle! I have a weakened immune system and purchased this five months ago to help fend off future colds. When I woke up with tickles in my nose and a scratchy throat yesterday, I realised it was a cold. I hoped it wasn't too late and took one every 3-4 hours during the evening and night. This morning, symptoms are 90% gone! If it works again, I would even rate it ten stars!

Immediate relief

A must-have cold remedy! I used this after spending a day with a miserable cold, and I was amazed at how quickly my symptoms cleared up. My runny nose and sneezing returned after three or four hours, so I ensured to use it every three hours for the first few days. Thankfully, I didn’t experience any side effects. I felt cold-free overall!

Cold remedy
5 people found this helpful
When I sense I’m coming down with something, I take one of these. They have been a godsend, especially this cold season when my immune system was weak. After starting these, I haven't gotten sick. I take one every three hours when I feel symptoms, and I haven’t noticed side effects other than feeling healthier. They have a pleasant flavour and texture compared to other zinc tablets I've tried. Overall, I highly recommend these.

Shortened duration
3 people found this helpful
It works if taken early and frequently. I recommend starting at the first sign of a sore throat. When taken often, it nips my symptoms in the bud, and I'm usually fine by the next day. Recently, while travelling, I began to come down with a cold. I took a dose before leaving but packed it and was unable to take another until late that night, which resulted in feeling unwell for a couple of days. However, it did shorten the duration of my symptoms. Now, I ensure I always have some on hand, as you don’t want to wait for delivery when you start feeling sick.
