"Zicam can work well if you use it immediately when you start to feel yourself coming down with something. It's hard to determine if it will definitely work for you or not unless you try it. If you take any prescriptions medications, you should talk to the doctor who prescribed them first to make sure the Zicam won't interact with them."

The company's current remedies consist of throat lozenges and oral mist sprays that release the same form of zinc gluconate as Cold-EEZE directly onto the throat. According to Dr. Southwick, "These may be beneficial because, like other zinc products, they are expected to interfere with the binding of the rhinovirus," which means they prevent the common cold virus from taking root in your body. But keep in mind that, like with Cold-EEZE, topical zinc only works on the rhinovirus, which accounts for about 50% of colds.
