<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Zicam not intended for influenza protection
Zicam's website states that "Zicam products are not intended to protect against any influenza virus, including H1N1 (Swine Flu) virus." Zicam also stated that the flu is caused by the influenza virus, and the cause of the common cold is the rhinovirus.
On the Other: Zicam works for cold and flu symptom relief
Zicam's website indicates that its products "help reduce the duration and severity of the common cold." Specifically, Zicam Cold & Flu is stated to be a "powerful multi-symptom cold and flu relief that ... helps rescue you from even the worst cold and flu symptoms."
Bottom Line
Zicam products can relieve the symptoms of a contracted flu virus, but does not act as a protector from contracting the virus. Zicam Cold & Flu can be used to help relieve flu symptoms.
