Q: Since the swabs do not contain zinc, would it help to also take one of your zinc products at the same time?

submitted by EdS - 2 years ago

  • A: Thank you for your question, EdS. You may use any nasal form alternately or any oral form alternately. If you would like to treat your cold simultaneously with both forms (nasal and oral), although we are not aware of any drug interactions, the combined actives have not been studied for efficacy. Please follow the dosing schedule of every 3 hours, not to exceed 5 doses of the nasal product in one 24-hour period. Please consult your physician. If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to call/text us at 800-833-9532. Our team is available to help Monday - Friday, from 9 - 5 Eastern. We'll be glad to help! Please mention your case number: 06819269, when contacting us.

    Where can I find tfwm

    Swear by these- but apparently you can get them anymore? Does anyone know if they plan to continue to make these? I always use as stocking stuffers for my kids. The other products don’t work as well in my opinion.
