Marian had few problems with the Zicam initially, but on the third day of treatment she complained of having a headache, and had to stop using Zicam so she could take a painkiller instead. After the headache subsided, she got back on the Zicam, and a day after that, she fell victim to a serious migraine headache which incapacitated her. At first, we were both concerened that Zicam might have sparked the migraine, which would most certainly be a serious problem. But after speaking to a physician I learned that any nasal medication can cause a migraine since it affects the blood vessels of the nose. Therefore, it was not the Zicam that caused this, but the way it was administered. Unfortunately, there is no warning on the container indicating that migraine sufferers shouldn't use Zicam. In fact, the only warnings listed are concerning nose, ear, and throat sensitivities. This is one thing that I hope the manufacterers will fix in the future. Message 15354672
