COLD-EEZE ®

When 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 regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Some COLD-EEZE^® products have been best-selleing cold relief product for consumers. In fact, the FDA has found the COLD-EEZE^® product to the safe for its intended use.

Regardless of the Quigley's claims of COLD-EEZE^® safety, many consumers have begun to come forward after using certain products. Some individuals are alleging that COLD-EEZE^® products left a burning sensation in their noses, and they completely lost their sense of smell after using the product, although there have not been any substantiated claims that the company's discontinued products caused a condition known as anosmia, or the loss of smell). 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 a medication or homeopathic cold remedy it can be a life altering experience. After all, the sense of smell is critical to a person's safety and possibly to a person's career. Take, for instance, if the affected person was a chef who must taste his or her food. If such a product 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 person can no longer detect odors, a natural gas leak in the home could lead to death or serious injury.

We offer free consultation and are investigating potential claims on behalf of allegedly injured victims that have used COLD-EEZE^® or other homeopathic cold remedy products and lost their sense of smell or taste.

The information contained on this site does not imply that COLD-EEZE^® products are unsafe or deemed a defective drug.

I purchased the cherry lozenges hoping to find some relief for my cold symptoms. After seeing a commercial on TV and hearing the CEO Mr. Ted Karkus guaranteeing his product to shorten the length of a cold, I thought I'd give it a try. I have had this cold now for 2 weeks. I am not impressed with this product and wish now I had saved my money.

I ate Cold-Eeze zinc lozenges in June and for 3 days all I smelled was ammonia. Then I realized food didn't taste right and it took awhile for me to realize that I cannot smell anything~! All I get is this rank, smell in association with any big odor like perfume. I cannot smell evergreens, cinammon or anything anymore. DO NOT TAKE ANY ZINC COLD REMEDIES~!!!

I have a bad head cold and cough so my neighbor picked up Cold-eeze for me. My stomach is now upset and the inside of my mouth and tongue is numb. I hope she can return this package to the store.

I used cold-Eeze lozenges for a couple of days and noticed that my right kidney started hurting. Should I go see a doctor?

Just used cold eeze lozenges yesterday for first time and today I have no sense of smell or taste. I hope this is not a permanent situation - hope to wake up tomorrow better. Definitely stating away from the lozenges from here on out.

I have used Cold-Eeze since they first came on the market. They reduced the duration or the symptoms of my colds and I have NEVER had any side effects. I can still smell and taste and are thrilled they are on the market. When I first get a symptom of a cold or sore throat, I pop one in my mouth every 4 hours and 24 hrs. later, I am symptom free. I love Cold Eeze and so does my family. I recommend to everyone and no has ever had anything but praise for them!

I had one Cold-Eeze lozenge last night for a cough and I awoke this morning with no sense of taste in a large area of my tongue. I just started scanning the web and have found a number or references detailing this type of symptom back to Cold-Eeze. I'm hoping this is temporary and will improve with time. Not happy with my 'homeopathic' choice.

I used Cold-Eeze lozenges - I've lost my sense of smell and blame it on cold-eeze lozenges as i do not use nose spray. I think my taste is okay...but cannot smell ANYTHING!
