Used once AM and PM with last URI. Three days only as I know it is addictive and can cause rebound nasal congestion. My nose didn't feel right, extremely dry and any air movement felt like it was blowing directly up my nose, even from a distance away. This was a bad cold and I assumed this was just part of it. My sense of smell has been completely gone now since the day before Christmas and it is now January 22. I can sense sweet and spicy but do not have any real sense of smell at all. I had used this spray before in the past and have not had any side effects. I researched this online and found that folks are losing their sense of smell due to nasal spray, Zicam being the biggest culprit. Why had the FDA not warned the public about this possibility? I can surely live like this if it never returns but would have liked to have been made aware of the possibility that this could happen. Where is the warning on the box? How many people does this have to happen to before something gets done other than lawsuits against the manufacturers?Read More Read Less
