My Zicam experience, Part 1

My Zicam samples from Crowdtap to use and share with others came at an opportune time. I received six bottles of the cherry flavored RapidMelts for myself and to share with others. I had been battling congestion for weeks, and the congestion had gotten so bad, it had gotten into my lungs. Since nothing I had done so far had helped with the congestion problems I had experienced, I hoped that Zicam would get rid of everything that was clogging my sinuses and lungs, so I quickly opened up one of the six boxes so I could try it.

When I read the directions for usage, I was surprised that the rapid dissolve tablets just needed to be placed under one's tongue. On the other hand, I was put off by the fact that the recommended dosage was one tablet every three hours. If that were followed literally, one would run out of the 25 tablets in the bottle in roughly three days.

When I put the tablet under my tongue, I was more than pleased with the cherry taste. It was close to the taste of Diet Cherry 7-Up, which I drink often. The pill dissolved fairly rapidly, and there was little powdery aftertaste. The overall experience was better for me than taking liquid cold or cough medicine.

Since it was close to bedtime, I went to bed and hoped the medicine would work overnight while I slept.
