Rated 3 out of 5 by gammahau 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 sparke81 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 masha777 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 moriahdawn19 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 blossom19 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bridgett0 from I really like the taste answer ease of using the Zicam rapid melts in citrus flavor. I am noticing that my cold is not getting worse. I still have it but as of right now it's not easing up. I like the fact I can take these with me and I don't need anything to drink to take one. The citrusy orange flavor is really good and it doesn't have a nasty aftertaste. I will keep taking this in hopes my cold will get a bit better but glad it's not getting worse. I would definitely try this again maybe in the other flavor.
