Zicam Lawsuit

 

Zicam is a popular non-prescription zinc nasal spray. Its manufacturer

markets it as a medication to shorten the duration of the common cold.

 

Zicam has been associated with the onset of a condition known as anosmia,

which leaves the user with a potentially permanent loss of smell and taste.

These

side effects typically are irreversible. The federal Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) currently is collecting and evaluating reports of severe

reactions

to Zicam.

 

Media Report Links Zicam and Loss of Smell

 

ABC7 in Denver, Colorado brought media attention to the potential side

effects of Zicam when it reported on a station employee who lost her sense of

smell

after using Zicam to treat a cold. The employee was diagnosed with anosmia, a

condition that likely will result in the permanent loss of her sense of smell.

 

 

The station received an outpouring of user feedback following its report.

ABC7 reported that within a week of running the story, they already had received

80 reports from people injured by zinc nasal spray. Most of those experiencing

serious side effects had used Zicam. The others had used Cold Eeze.
