Cold-EEZE reduces the duration of the common cold by nearly half.

It actually shortens your cold to help you get well sooner! 

Here are a few things you should know:

  • Cold-EEZE treatment should begin as soon as possible when the very first symptoms of a cold start to appear, such as scratchy or sore throat, coughing, stuffiness, etc.
  • The Cold-EEZE brand is the #1 pharmacist-recommended zinc cold remedy. (Source: Pharmacy Times OTC survey – June 2011, page 18)
  • Cold-EEZE uses natural flavors and has no preservatives or colors. It is non-drowsy, non-agitating and does not affect blood pressure.
  • Cold-EEZE has millions of fans!

Although the precise mechanism by which zinc ions interfere with the cold virus has not been scientifically established, the Cleveland Clinic Study demonstrated that Cold-EEZE lozenges significantly reduced the duration of the common cold.

  • Cold-EEZE treatment should begin within 24-48 hours of the start of a cold and be used daily until all symptoms resolve. The earlier, the better.
  • Completely dissolve a Cold-EEZE lozenge in your mouth. Do not chew. Repeat every 2 to 4 hours as needed.
  • The recommended daily dosage is 6 lozenges per day, which means an 18 count bag/box is a 3-day supply of Cold-EEZE for adults.
  • Children 12-17 can take 4 lozenges per day.
  • Consult your healthcare professional before giving Cold-EEZE to children under 12 years of age.
  • Cold-EEZE is safe to take with most other medications including other symptom relievers.
  • Avoid stomach upset — do not take Cold-EEZE lozenges on an empty stomach.
  • Avoid citrus fruits and juices, as well as other products containing citric acid, 30 minutes before and after taking Cold-EEZE lozenges, as they may diminish product effectiveness.
  • Zinc may interfere with the absorption of minocycline, doxycycline, tetracycline as well as Coumadin. If you’re taking one of these medicines, consult with your physician prior to using Cold-EEZE.
  • Clinical studies demonstrated that results will vary but that on average, Cold-EEZE will shorten your cold by nearly half. As a consumer, if you are not satisfied with the results from taking Cold-EEZE, please contact us to receive a full refund of your purchase price.
