In collaboration with U.S. News & World Report, survey results recognize the cold shortening brand as #1 pharmacist recommended for homeopathic cold products

Zicam®, America’s #1 cold shortening brand, announces today their recognition as a #1 Pharmacist Recommended Brand by Pharmacy Times and U.S. News & World Report. The brand’s great tasting homeopathic cold shortening products shorten colds when taken at the first sign. According to a national survey of almost 800 pharmacists from late 2020 into early 2021, Zicam ranked as the #1 Pharmacist Recommended brand¹ in the following categories:

• Homeopathic Cold Products
• Zinc Lozenges
• Zinc Cold Remedies

“We take pride in being the number-one zinc oral cold remedy brand² and delivering cold shortening products that get rid of your cold faster. Often the first touchpoint many customers have with Zicam is at the pharmacy, and we are thrilled to receive this recognition in these categories from such trusted sources,” says Michael Vercelletto, Marketing Director for Zicam.

Zicam delivers a portfolio of homeopathic zinc-based and nasal non-zinc based cold shortening formulas as well as products ranging across multiple categories including nasal health, congestion/sinus relief, and allergy relief products. With a variety of forms, Zicam is easy to take on the go – allowing consumers to feel equipped to take on any common cold that comes their way.

The Pharmacy Times 2021 Survey of Pharmacists’ OTC Recommendations is administered through an Internet-based survey and asks pharmacists about their preferences on over 800 over-the-counter brands, spanning 148 product categories. This year marks the tenth year where U.S. News & World Report has joined Pharmacy Times in honoring the #1 Pharmacist Recommended brands, and the collaboration provides valuable resources to both consumers and health care professionals.
