Zicam® Cold Remedy Citrus RapidMelts® is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 238.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Zicam has a fantastic homeopathic product to help shorten an oncoming cold. After receiving my sample I did experience the onset of a cold within days of its arrival. I used a tablet the first night before bed, It dissolved quickly and did not have a bad taste, nor did it leave a "chalky" feeling in my mouth. Over the course of four days I used these tablets every 4 hours, along with my cold medicine.My cough never fully developed, which was good, and I only missed 1 day of work due to my cold symptoms. Overall I would strongly recommend this product and I plan on repurchasing these to have in the house in case of another bout of illness. .

Rated 3 out of 5 by from I was very excited to be chosen to sample Zicam Cold Remedy RapidMelts "homeopathic" tablets. The zinc works very well in shortening the length and severity of a cold, but it tastes like zinc even with the natural and artificial flavors. I would have given a higher rating to this product but I take exception to the inactive ingredients of FD&C yellow #6 aluminum lake and artificial flavor being labeled as homeopathic. There were several ingredients that I did not expect to see in a product being touted as homeopathic. In the future I will just be buying zinc tablets as I don't like to use artificial additives in my supplements or food intake.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I hate cold season but this year it was so much easier thanks too Zicam cold remedy Rapidmelts. I woke up and had a sruffy nose and scratchy throat so I took 1 Rapidmelts and took another 1 three hours later as directed and so on the next day I was not all the way well but I didn't feel any worse so I kept taking the rapidmelts as directed and I never got any worse I felt great. I will definitely buy these in the future and tell all my friends and family about them. Colds can really drag you down and with the Zicam Rapidmelts I was able to do my regular routine and that was amazing. Thank you so much for this amazing product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I started using Zicam Cold Remedy Rapidmelts three days ago when I woke up with the first signs of a cold starting. The orange flavored tabs really did melt quickly in my mouth and had a light, pleasant taste. I'm happy to say that the sore throat I started with has faded and my nose hasn't been stuffy all day. My nose is still running a bit, but that's probably a good thing so I can see that the mucus is clear. The package recommends that you increase fluids intake and since it's good to have more fluids during a cold, I don't have a problem with the suggestion. I am pleased with this product. Zicam is making it possible for me to feel well enough to be ready for Thanksgiving!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about these. There have been so many different products which claim that they can shorten the life of a cold, almost all of them turning out to be hocus-pocus. After trying these complementary in exchange for my honest feedback, I can tell you for a fact that THESE THINGS WORK!! I started taking them at the first sign of a cold as instructed in the directions, and it helped nailed it right in the bud! My partner however who also had the same symptoms and didnt take any, wasnt so lucky. His turned into a bad cold. While I feel bad fornot telling him about these, I remind myself that I needed to have a controlled variable to be able to compare them to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Zicam Cold Remedy rapidmelts are the best way to fight cold! I couldnt believe that taking them would do anything but it did stop me from getting sicker! The most important thing to remember is the fact that you need to start taking the melts as soon as you start feeling that you getting sick. Zicam cold remedy rapidmelts help with sore throat, coughing and nodal congestion! And they taste really really good, not like regular medicine. I absolutely love this product and think that its a must have for everybody, especially during winter!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The citrus rapid melts, do just that,- they melt as soon as you place it on your tongue. The citrus taste is ok, I's prefer a berry flavor, but this one was alright. It's easy to ingest because it melts quickly, and it didn't leave an after-taste. I've used it for a few days, and it's a nice way to deter a cold or keep it from getting worse if you're having some cold symptoms. I followed the directions, and took a tablet every 3 hours. I can honestly say that after several days of taking Zicam, I did notice a difference in how I felt. My mild symptoms subsided and I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Especially now that cold weather is here, this is a great way to keep the colds at bay.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from When it comes to the Zicam Cold Remedy RapidMelts, I didn't get the positive results I had hoped for, or more appropriately, my husband didn't as he was the one who caught a cold. He Bagan complaining of a cold and I immediately insisted on him begin taking the Zicam. He took it faithfully thru the whole bottle and he still suffered a week with cold symptoms. In my opinion, that wasn't entirely a success or entirely a fail as there is no way to know how long his cold would have lasted without it. Would I recommend it..... probably. Would I take it in the future to give it another try..... absolutely. I look forward to another test run. Thanks Crowdtap for introducing me to a new product.
