Zinc nasal gel (Zicam) reduced the duration of the common cold by 41 hours, was well tolerated, and was relatively inexpensive.
More studies, in a broader population, comparing zinc nasal gel with other cold remedies (such as decongestants, antihistamines, antitussives, and antipyretics/analgesics) are needed before recommending it as first-line therapy.
