I think they changed zicam for the nose. I dont remember the details. Maybe something about it was having a side effect of people losing sense of smell.

Or maybe something about Rush Limbaugh endorsing it.

Yes, the FDA changed the formula for the Zicam nasal spray and the swabs. They are homeopathic now, and only the lozenges contain zinc in them.

A nasal spray, however, is something I’ve been telling my husband for a while. I have many environmental allergies, and I use Flonase, now OTC, nearly everyday to manage my allergy symptoms, and it is far more effective than the Zyrtec, and other brands that I use in addition when my symptoms get more harsh.

I would LOVE to see this spray be an effective weapon, if only it could be approved here in the US.
