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.

PVP iodine kills COVID

so a PVP iodine nasal spray should work

my concern is the damage to the nose

i use a swab of it in my nose when I come home but that is not every day

you can buy individual applicators of it that have mixed reviews on Amazon.

you can buy a betadine gargle with it but there are concerns about damage to teeth

there is another betadine gargle that you can get but not in the US with a different ingredient.
