What Is Cold-eeze?
Cold-Eeze (zinc gluconate lozenges) is a prescription-eligible over-the-counter medication used to manage the common cold. It works by releasing ionic zinc in the oral cavity, which is thought to inhibit rhinovirus replication and reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms. With the right dosing regimen started at the first sign of symptoms, Cold-Eeze can help you feel better faster.

Frequently asked questions
Cold-Eeze lozenges contain zinc gluconate, which releases ionic zinc in the mouth and throat. Ionic zinc is thought to bind to receptors used by rhinoviruses, the most common cause of colds, potentially blocking their ability to replicate and reducing how long your cold lasts.
Clinical studies suggest Cold-Eeze works best when started within 24 hours of the first cold symptoms. Beginning treatment early, at the first sign of a sore throat, sneezing, or runny nose, gives it the best chance of shortening your illness.
The standard adult regimen is one lozenge every two to four hours while awake, but not more than six lozenges in a 24-hour period. Each lozenge should be allowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth without chewing. Your physician will confirm the right schedule for you.
Common side effects include nausea, a bad taste in the mouth, and mouth irritation. Taking Cold-Eeze with food or shortly after eating may help reduce nausea. If you experience a severe allergic reaction or persistent stomach upset, contact a healthcare provider.
Zinc can reduce the absorption of certain antibiotics, particularly fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines, as well as some other medications. Tell your Doctronic physician about all medications and supplements you are taking so they can check for potential interactions.
Cold-Eeze is not appropriate for individuals with a known hypersensitivity to zinc. People with certain chronic conditions or who are taking medications affected by zinc should discuss their full medical history with a physician before starting treatment.
