Zicam Cold Remedy Lawyer - Zicam Loss of Taste and Smell - Zicam Recall - Zicam Lawsuit - Zicam Side Effects

• Reports of anosmia or loss of sense of smell associated with use of three zinc-containing intranasal Zicam products represent a strong and significant safety signal.
•  Anosmia is a serious, disabling condition that may result in the permanent loss of one of the five senses, the sense of smell.
• Anosmia may be long-lasting or permanent.
• These products are for the treatment of a condition that goes away on its own (common cold).
• People with anosmia may not be able to smell smoke, a gas leak, or spoiled food.  Additionally, anosmia is often associated with a loss of sense of taste (ageusia).
• Anosmia and ageusia may affect the work of people employed in the food industry, or other industries in which the sense of smell and taste are very important. 
• Zicam products that are the subject of the warning:

• Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel (NDC 62750-003-10)
• Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs (NDC 62750-003-20)        
• Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size (NDC 62750-003-21)

• Zicam brands that are NOT affected by the warning:

• Zicam Cold Remedy RapidMelts with Vitamin C
• Zicam Cold Remedy RapidMelts
• Zicam Cold Remedy Oral Mist
• Zicam Cold Remedy Chewables
• Zicam Cold Remedy ChewCaps
• Zicam Cold Sore Gel Swabs
• Zicam Multisymptom Cold and Flu Liquid-Daytime
• Zicam Multisymptom Cold and Flu Liquid-Nighttime
• Zicam Multisymptom Cold and Flu To Go-Daytime
• Zicam Multisymptom Cold and Flu To Go-Nighttime
• Zicam Cough Max Cough Spray
• Zicam Cough Max Cough Melts
• Zicam Extreme Congestion Relief Nasal Gel
• Zicam Intense Sinus Relief Nasal Gel
• Zicam Healthy Z-ssentials
• Zicam Seasonal Allergy Relief Nasal Gel
• Zicam Seasonal Allergy Relief Gel Swabs

• While Zicam also makes zinc-containing oral cold remedies, these are not subject to this warning because the development of anosmia appears to be related to the intranasal application of zinc.

• Post-viral anosmia has been noted in individuals (unrelated to zinc), however, anosmia with intranasal zinc presents differently; many individuals complain of burning or stinging sensations in the nose and a more rapid onset of symptoms than is seen with post-viral anosmia.

• FDA’s concerns about reported adverse events of anosmia are heightened by published scientific literature that provides evidence supporting the connection between intranasal zinc and anosmia.
