Cold-Eeze
Free Defective Drugs Case ReviewWhen you have the common cold, you want to get rid of it as soon as possible. But you may be concerned about using some over-the-counter medications. Instead, you turn to homeopathic remedies; after all, they have to be safe, right?
In fact, homeopathic remedies, such as Cold-Eeze, are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) until significant claims have been made against them. Therefore, it is a true gamble to use the products, though since its introduction to the market in 2003, Cold-Eeze has been a best-seller.
Cold-Eeze comes in a nasal spray form and is marketed by Quigley Corporation. It contains zinc, which the company states has been proven to reduce the symptoms and duration of the common cold. The Cold-Eeze makers also tout the safety of their product, citing a double-blind study they conducted before sending Cold-Eeze to the public's nasal passageways.
Regardless of the Quigley's claims of Cold-Eeze safety, many have begun to come forward after using the product. Those individuals are claiming that Cold-Eeze left a burning sensation in their noses, and they completely lost their sense of smell after using the product. Quigley counters those claims by stating that perhaps it was the cold that caused their loss of smell.
For those who lost the ability to smell (and taste) after using Cold-Eeze, Quigley's insensitivity to their conditions comes as a slap in the face. After all, the sense of smell is critical to a person's safety and possibly to a person's career. Take, for instance, the case of a chef who must taste his or her food. If Cold-Eeze has left him or her without the ability to tell if a dish is too salty, too garlic-filled, or too bland, he or she might be out of a job. Additionally, if a Cold-Eeze user can no longer detect odors, a natural gas leak in the home could lead to death.
We offer free consultation and representation to those with Cold-Eeze claims. In fact, you'll owe us nothing until we receive monetary compensation for you. It's a winning situation. Though we can't reverse the adverse effects of Cold-Eeze use, we can make Quigley pay for its potentially defective drug.

| I used Cold-Eeze last fall and shortly after everything smelled and tasted strange. Now I have almost no sense of taste and smell. | |

| I used Cold Eeze about 3 yrs ago for a cold. I had never used spray in my nose before so I thought it was supposed to burn. Since then my taste and smell has been altered significantly. | |

| I have used Cold Eeze for several years and have not had any problems. As a matter of fact, I think it works very well, ameliorating the feeling of a sore throat and bringing me back from the edge of several upper respiratory infections. Has there been any litigation with Quigley that has been successful for the people who have had problems? | |

| Oh my god, i can\'t believe that Cold-Eeze was the cause of my loss of smell. I had a cold more than a week ago, it wasn\'t that bad because of Cold-Eeze, usually it gets much worse...I was happy to get rid of it in a short time; however, I lost my sense of smell! And it doesn\'t come back. Everyday I go to bed thinking that tomorrow I\'ll be able to smell and taste; doesn\'t happen. It affects my mood, my job, and my school performance! | |

| I had a cold last October and the only thing I took was ColdEeze. It\'s mid-January right now and I have only a faint sense of taste and usually no sense of taste. I can\'t believe I\'m going through this. I\'ve assumed this is temporary, but after three months, I\'m wondering if this is the way it\'s going to be from now on. I\'m surprised at how much this is affecting me. I want to be able to taste and smell again. | |

| I was just wondering - and this might be ridiculous - if anybody else had experienced extreme diarrhea after using Cold-Eeze? | |

| Zinc taken in the mouth can effect taste, but the effect normally goes away in a matter of minutes or hours. Not sure about the nasal issues. Zinc can also cause dihydration and constipation. That said, I find it amazingly effective if taken at the first sign of a cold. I actually have a tablet in my mouth right now. My kids caught a NASTY virus with a very high fever and cough that lasted 4-5 days. My symptoms have been much less severe and I did not miss a day of work. | |
