Zicam Nasal Spray Lawyer
With numerous people suffering from allergies and colds, many turn to nasal sprays or gels to relieve themselves of their sinuses. Most products sold at local drug stores and convenience stores are believed to be safe; however, once in a while a few customers begin to face a few strange side-effects. In a recent case, a nasal product named Zicam has many customers chiming in about losing their sense of smell.
When an individual has a congested nose, they normally have a hard time breathing through their nostrils and they can have a hard time smelling certain odors. This is why many of them turn to the relief of nasal sprays. What many of them did not expect was a sudden unwelcome side-effect. Many customers must have been distraught to find out that they were losing their sense of smell just after one dose of the medicine.
The FDA has warned consumers to stop using Zicam Cold Remedy nasal products after receiving notice of their side effects. The products contain zinc remedies to help reduce cold symptoms. While these products may seem to have a successful effect initially, many consumers found that they were experiencing anosmia, a permanent loss of smell. About 130 reports of customers losing their sense of smell has been received by the FDA. The side-effect took effect within the first dose while others are claiming that they experienced anosmia after a few doses.
Zicam products which have been associated with the anosmia symptom include: Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Gel, Zicam Cold Remedy Nasal Swabs, and Zicam Cold Remedy Swabs, Kids Size. It is highly encouraged that anyone using these products put an immediate stop to their usage.
The sense of smell is often associated with a person’s taste sense as well. Losing the ability to smell certain odors can also limit a person’s ability to taste a flavor to its fullness. The FDA has advised any Zicam consumer to visit their doctors. Matrixx, the company marketing Zicam has said that the FDA warning was unwarranted but they have voluntarily withdrawn their products from stores and markets.
Matrixx has faced several lawsuits from Zicam users who have lost their sense of smell. If you have been using a Zicam product, make sure you contact an experienced attorney today.
