It is a homeopathic cold remedy based on zinc, which supposedly boosts your immune system. Works for me!! Try any drug store in the cold remedy aisle, or grocery store, ditto!

Zicam is a homeopathic remedy you use to treat a cold. The active ingredient is Zincum Gluconicum. When it is first used at the first sign of a cold and continued to be used until symptoms clear up, it reduces the duration and severity of the cold.
It can be found at any drug store, supermarket or Walmart.
Zicam does work. I used to get colds that would last over two weeks long. Then I started using Zicam (and Airborne at the same time) at the first sign of a cold and it would either prevent the cold from coming to full fruition or my cold would be done in 2 - 3 days! I swear by them now.

Zicam is a cold medication and it does work but ONLY if you follow the instructions and use it as often as it says.
I bought the nasal swabs and they were kind of messy and inconvenient. I think next time I will go with the pills or the nasal spray.
