Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I also have chronic sinus issues (sinusitis, etc). When I saw that Zicam, a brand known for touting it's "homeopathic" products, was making a congestion relief spray I was very optimistic. Long ago I learned that the Afrin-type nasal sprays were bad for you, because of the rebound effect they cause. Many people get terrribly addicted to these sprays because when the effect wears off the chemical ingredient leaves your nasal passages even more swollen then they were before you took it. Which, of course, makes you keep reaching for the bottle again and again. But I assumed (and you know what happens when you assume...) that if this spray was from Zicam then it must be ok. I started taking this spray with my current sinus infection, and it works great at first. But then I've noticed that my congestion got to be so bad that even my prescription medications which normally work wonders were not effective. Then I did a Google search on the active ingredient in the Zicam Extreme Congestion spray (Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride)...turns out it is the exact same ingredient as Afrin and all the rest. Bad news, stay away from it. Do yourself a favor and do not use this product. If you absolutely have to use it, read the instructions very carefully...it says do not use the product for more than 3 days. This is really important, if you overuse it you can easily become addicted. You're better off just not touching the stuff to begin with...
