Wonderful! Sinus pain gone and no side effects.

often stuffed up at night, an allergy sufferer, a sinus headache sufferer, interested in being awake during the day, a tender flower

Pros

no side effects, follow directions for max effectiveness

Cons

this is NOT a 12-24 hour product, can be expensive if used regularly

Look for the blue label. That's homeopathic Zicam Allergy Relief. And this no-drip, liquid nasal gel really does what the label promises. It is truly Non Drowsy; it clears up stuffiness; and it knocks out sinus pressure and pain, as well.

Do NOT confuse this with Zicam's non-homeopathic sinus relief spray which can have rebound effect after just a few days.

     Zicam Allergy Relief is basically an on-demand product. Have your sinus headache or runny eyes returned? Pump a little of the clear gel just barely inside each nostril, press your nostrils together for at least five seconds, and count on relief almost immediately. Don't blow your nose for about five minutes afterwards. This gives Zicam Allergy Relief time to do its best job.
     Tender Flower that I am, I don't really need to pump the gel to the bottom to get results. That may or may not work for you. In any case, as with all homeopathic meds, you'll likely get four hours of relief, but you won't ever get twenty-four hours. I stow Zicam Allergy in the bathroom, in the car, in my purse, and on the table next to my piano.
     If you use it regularly, the expense of Zicam can mount up. Satisfied with the product? Check out deals on multiple bottles on Ebay. I've always found reputable dealers when they are designated "Power Sellers".
     If you expect the really longlasting result you'd get from a prescription med or some over-the-counter tablets, this is NOT the product for you. (On a really bad day, I sometimes use a "drowsy", longerlasting med at night.)
     If you want something with virtually no side-effects, Zicam is, I believe, the best of the multitude of products out there. Be sure and read the info on the entire package.

I'm glad you have this as I suspect allergy season is going to be getting into full swing before long in your area. I especially like that part about being "interested in being awake during the day"! Surely, this is something for us all to strive for, especially us night owls!

You are so very welcome. I work with people who are hurting and so I try my best to help encourage people. Flattery isn't always the greatest compliment.

We had flurries yesterday afternoon. We had a 3 hour delayed opening with my office but my best friend and I went in at our regular time and opted to leave early ;+) Tonight we are supposed to drop to 18 so our roads might not be too nice in the a.m. I am very cold natured so if it drops below 70 I'm ready to hibernate, brrrr!!!! I hope that you are having a wonderful day. Try to get as close as you can to Vivo (was that the cat's name) and give him a hug for me. And then give yourself a bit of that Zicam--aaachooo!! God bless you ;+) Hugs to you, Gigi girl

Thanks, Gigi. You always make me feel good. Just something about the not only flattering, but kindly way you right. Do you have snow?

Great review--someone from the pharmaceutical company may be looking for you to promote their product ;+) I think I got lucky in this area because I don't get many sinus problems--lots of allergies accompanied with congestion and/or runny nose but not the sinus cavity.
