Zicam is completely different® from most other cold remedies because it actually shortens colds versus just temporarily relieving symptoms. These fruit drops are homeopathic and made with zinc to shorten colds and relieve nasal congestion when taken at the first sniffle, sneeze or cough. They also contain the natural power of elderberry to help relieve cold symptoms.* Zicam Cold Remedy medicated fruits drops are soft, chewy, and great tasting. *Claims based on traditional homeopathic practice, not accepted medical evidence. Not FDA evaluated.
