Can Zicam Cold Remedy help protect me from the H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus?
No. Zicam products are not intended to protect against any influenza virus, including H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus. Colds and flu are caused by different viruses. The flu is caused by the influenza virus. The leading cause of the common cold is the rhinovirus (“rhino” means nose), of which there are more than 100 strains. Zicam Cold Remedy is clinically proven to get you over your cold faster when taken as directed at the first sign of symptoms. Though a cold and a flu share many symptoms – like sore throat, nasal congestion and sneezing – the flu is usually marked by more intense symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, body aches and dry cough. People with a cold are more likely to have a stuffy or runny nose.
