Zicam lawyers are defective drug attorneys who have experience in building cases and obtaining settlements for consumers injured after taking the cold remedy known as Zicam.

What is Zicam?

Produced by Matrixx Initiatives, Inc., Zicam is a decongestant nasal spray that works by constricting the body's blood vessels and allowing the sinuses to drain. Zicam is generically known as oxymetazoline nasal and its active ingredients include zinc, ICAM-1 and sulfur.

Despite being an effective decongestant, however, Zicam is known to cause serious side effects. Anyone injured after taking Zicam will likely be entitled to a settlement for their injuries and losses by pursuing a defective drug lawsuit. Prospective plaintiffs can learn more about their legal rights by meeting with a Zicam attorney for a free initial consultation.

Zicam Side Effects

Zicam is known to cause anosmia, the loss of smell. Because the sense of smell also informs the sense of taste, Zicam side effects can also impair an individual's sense of taste.

In response to these findings, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a nationwide alert on June 16, 2009, advising the public to immediately discontinue use of Zicam due to the possibility of severe side effects.

Consumers still in possession of Zicam cold remedy should return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Who Has the Highest Risk of Developing Zicam Side Effects?

Individuals who have the greatest risk of developing anosmia after using Zicam include those with a history of:

• diabetes
• glaucoma (a disease affecting the eye's optic nerve)
• heart conditions (including arrhythmias)
• hypertension
• liver or kidney disease
• thyroid disease
• urinary problems, including an enlarged prostate

Anyone who overdoses on Zicam (either by taking the drug more than two times daily or for more than five days) will also have a higher risk of developing Zicam side effects.

What to do Following Zicam Side Effects

It's essential that injured patients:

• Seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatments
• Meet with an experienced Zicam attorney to find out if they are entitled to a settlement for their injuries and losses

During a free initial consultation, Zicam lawyers will:

• Thoroughly evaluate injured parties' claims
• Determine whether an individual has a viable legal claim against Martixx Initiatives, Inc.
• Inform prospective plaintiffs about the process involved with winning a defective drug lawsuit
• Advise them on regarding the best manner in which to pursue their claims

Those who decide to pursue their claim with the help of experienced Zicam lawyers will benefit from:

• Access to a network of experts who can verify their claims when official testimony is needed
• Aggressive, professional representation in court, mediation and/or arbitration proceedings
• Delayed payment for legal services, as Zicam attorneys work on contingency to alleviate plaintiffs' financial stress as they fight for their legal rights

Compensation for Zicam Side Effects

Ultimately, following through with a defective drug lawsuit allows injured Zicam patients to seek compensation for their:

• outstanding hospital bills
• ongoing treatment and rehabilitation costs
• lost income and ability to work
• permanent and/or temporary disabilities
• emotional pain and suffering

Have you or a loved one been harmed by a Zicam side effect? If so, you will likely be entitled to recover compensation for your injuries and losses. For more information, please contact our Zicam lawyer today.
