"You can't conclude that it is worthless against other viruses, but it would be fair to say that you don't know which other viruses it is effective against." Also, incorrect. For example, if memory serves me, I recall that the Coxsackie virus (type A and B) is also known to generate cold symptoms and is thought to be responsible for most summer colds. I also recall that Coxsackie absorbs through the intestines and, therefore, would not absorb through nasal I-CAM. I think it's safe to say that Zicam would be ineffective against Coxsackie.
