Zinx Cold Kit Oral
In Depth
For the zinc lozenges, slowly dissolve 2 lozenges in your mouth, one after the other, at the first sign of a cold (e.g., scratchy throat). Then slowly dissolve 1 lozenge in your mouth every 2 hours (with 1 lozenge at bedtime) until the cold symptoms have gone away for 6 hours. Do not use more than 10 lozenges in a 24-hour period. Do not eat or drink citrus fruit or juices within 30 minutes before or after using the zinc lozenges.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists for more than 1 week, or if it worsens, keeps coming back, or occurs with fever, rash, or persistent headache.
