ADMIN – Hi Bear,
Above all, compassion. It is sad, but a reflection of where we are as a country as it relates to education
I totally agree with “bear” – most of the comments left must be old people who think that by simply leaving a comment saying they’ve purchase said item and even as far as to list the name, think they are entered into the settlement. Reading is a must, folks!
Reading Is Fundamental, and so is comprehension. Intelligence is lacking in some. I lack compassion for those that willingly do not read before posting their response. Perhaps it is time to discontinue the Reply section.
ADMIN – Hi Wax!
Before we activated this comment section we made the same assumptions. Boy were we surprised.
I too agree with Bear, but I find your assumption that the comments must be left by “old” people, sad and disturbing.
“Old” people were probably better educated in terms of reading and writing, so it’s likely younger ones who are having problems following the directions. Many were probably promoted in school simply to get rid of them as well as to keep the graduation rate artificially high.
ADMIN – I agree with your comment, Bob. It’s the younger ones who are likely having problems comprehending our posts (if not non-native English speakers). Truly a sad reflection of our current educational system.
I purchased to use for cold symptoms they never help with anything
ADMIN – Hi Shirley,
Please file a claim using the link provided.
5 Products CVS PHARMACY = I THINK THEY NEW IT WASN’T ANY GOOD, AND CHOOSE TO MAKE MONEY INSTEAD OF LOOKING OUT FOR THE PUBLIC
ADMIN – Hi Kathryn,
I don’t think that is the case. They simply offered the product.
We have tried your Oral Mist, Liquid-Lozenges, Soft Chews, & Medicated Fruit Drops, Not one of them helped at all. Will never try Zicam anything ever again.
ADMIN – Hi Jodi,
Sounds like you are a class member.
My wife and I have purchased nasal sprays and cold remedies several times from CVS and Walmart usually the nasal sprays due to my allergies.
ADMIN – Hi David,
If you are a member of the class by all means file a claim.
I have bought the oral mist, nasal spray at least 6 bottles, soft chews, medicated fruit drops and lozenges ultra. I thought the nasal spray worked a little that is why I kept buying the Zicam brand. I probably bought more for my family but this is what I used personally.
ADMIN – Hi Tina,
If you are a member of the class by all means file your claim.
Never worked as advertised
I have spent time and money using Zicam products that claimed to help me and they only made symptoms worse.
How do I file my claim?
ADMIN – Hi Ann,

I have used zicam for over a year and didn’t like the way it made me feel.
ADMIN – Hi Myrtle,
Zicam is not intended for daily use.
I still have some but i will not use any more.
😎To the Admin..👍 Kudos.😁 For being so kind with your responses in this comments section.😉. I’m not sure i could do the same 😂. LoL.. 🙃Although, I suppose it does have some amusement value to it.. 🤔
I’ve already completed the filing process. I just thought I’d join the laugh.. I often seriously wonder these days if reading comprehension is even taught anymore.!?! Or if it’s a thing of the past such as cursive writing and proper grammar.. 😬 Yikes! 😱
ADMIN – Hi Katy,
I suspect everyone has now evolved to have Twitter-friendly attention span. Once they read the first 140 characters everything else becomes a blur.
The chewables did not work for me or my family
I have tried cold, nasal sprays
liquid lozenges, and soft
chews. Did not work for me

please add me Did not work for me
ADMIN – Hi Margaret,
I can’t add you. It is up to you to click on the link provided and file your own claim.
This product does not work. I have bought it twice with no results
This product simply is useless. I bought it twice once for myself and tried again for my 86 year old landlord. no help at all.
I have purchased this product twice. One for myself, which had zero effect. Then again on the advice of a friend repurchased a different formula for my 86 year old landlord. He actually became violently ill with vomiting. I will never buy zycam in any form.
Really never helped me.
I have tried 4 different types and it simply did nothing, please send me a claim form

I have bought zicam spray and tablets 4-5 times, seemed to help?
ADMIN – Hi Barbara,
Good to hear. Hopefully you filed your claim on time.
Brought this Zicam and it gave me a bad
Side affects
ADMIN – Hi Morris,
This settlement has nothing to do with side effects.
please send a claim form……at one time I was a loyal Zicam customer…..no more.
ADMIN – Hi Charles,
We can’t send forms out. You must file yourself
I’ve used several of these products and I’ve had great success every time I’ve used them, I think people that use them and don’t have any positive effect have not read and follow the directions on the package, people that cannot follow directions should not be entitled to any kind of refund, in fact they should be fined for even trying to take money from this company.
ADMIN – Hi Rick,
I don’t think this has anything to do with failure to follow directions.
I have tried Zicam and it did not help my symptoms at all..
The Sivan stopped working
I bought some of this spray and it burned my nose really bad
Made me sick to the stomach
ADMIN – Hi Claudius,
That is not the reason for the settlement.
I have used Zicam in the past and it was helpful, in September I got no results when I used it then. It was very disappointing.
ADMIN – Hi Iver,
File a claim.
I got no relief when I used Zicam in September. Very disappointing.
ADMIN – Hi Iver,
If you are a member of the class by all means file a claim.
All had the same effect: no result .
I purchased a good number of these. Tried different types. So disappointed to learn this.

It’s up to our subscribers to follow up directly with their respective claims/settlement administrators and/or check directly on the settlement website (always linked above) for updates. Hope you eventually got in touch with the settlement admin.
We have used this several times. Nose spray was ok, but did not help much. The soft chews were useless. Please send me info to file claim.
