Ohshaw,

Your comment that Nasal Ease "Didn't "soothe" but rather felt like water up my nose" is completely opposite from what most people say about Zicam. While some people report that it has a burning sensation, the vast majority say that it soothes. I haven't felt any burning sensation and agree that it soothes. Zicam is a gel and absorbs quickly when applied. It definitely isn't watery. If Nasal Ease doesn't work, this could explain why.

There's no doubt that imitators might try to copy Zicam. The company has a patent pending on the matrix and the marketing campaign needs to differentiate Zicam from other zinc based nasal sprays that might come on the market. I saw Nasal Ease in Walgreens for about $9.00. Some people have seen Zicam in Walgreens but they don't have full distribution through that chain yet. They should have it out by the end of October.

Best regards,
Dan
