Try Zyrtech(sp?), walmart has a generic version which is cheaper. It is over the counter, but you have to ask for it at the pharmacy counter though.



Zyrtec is for allergies, and you don't have to ask the pharmacy for it. Mayhaps you're thinking of something else?

Zicam has as good a chance at helping you as believing you aren't getting sick. It does have a somewhat significant chance of hurting you though. People have reporting losing their sense of smell from it.

the only thing zicam is good for is shifting that cash up out yo wallet into someone else's wallet.

I gave up on the over the counter meds and switched to Makers Mark and beer.

Although few things boost your immune system except for sickness, alcohol is a great way to depress your immune system.

I beg to differ.... The zinc stuff does have a small to moderate chance of helping you fend off a cold that is coming on, and makes a small but measurable difference in how severe a cold is once you get it.



I was involved in some clinical studies for this product (and another). It was shown to statistically decrease symptoms and duration.

It only has this affect on rhinitis and some strains of flu.
