The FDA has released a warning the public that the use Ziacam Swabs and Gel, can result in the loss of smell. The products contain the active ingredient Zinc, which has been linked to at least 130 cases, according to the warning.
The reports states that Ziacam never received FDA approval,because it was exempt because it is homeopathic, or minerals and vitamins based. The FDA is now requiring formal testing and approval of the product because of rising safety concerns.
This post should serve as a wake up call for many, because there is a prevailing notion that anything made of natural mineral and vitamins are "safe", and that's not always the case. I myself, have been guilty of such, and have learned the hard way. One has to be careful of the types of vitamins they take, the amounts, and even the mixture or combinations taken, as our biological makeups are different. Too much, a bad combination, or vitamins that are not compatible with your body, can cause health risks.
