The US Drug Watchdog has just announced a national investigation of the recalled nasal spray called Zicam. The US FDA called for US consumers to stop using the Zicam nasal gel, and Zicam nasal swabs on June 16th 2009, because the product may cause consumers to lose their sense of smell. This condition is also called anosmia. The US Drug Watchdog is a leading national advocate for US consumers injured by pharmaceuticals, and the group wants to hear from any US consumer who has lost their sense of smell, after using this product. Consumers are welcome to call the US Drug Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or contact the group via its web site at Http://USDrugWatchdog.Com.

"Loss of sense of smell is a serious risk for people who use these products for relief from cold symptoms," said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). "We are concerned that consumers may unknowingly use a product that could cause serious harm, and therefore we are advising them not to use these products for any reason."

People who have experienced a loss of sense of smell, or other problems after use of the Zicam products mentioned by the FDA, should contact the US Drug Watchdog immediately at 866-714-6466, or contact the group's web site at http://USDrugWatchdog.Com.

The loss of sense of smell can adversely affect a person's quality of life, and can limit the ability to detect the smell of gas or, smoke, or other signs of danger in the environment. According to the US Drug Watchdog, "losing your sense of smell is a really big deal, and we intend to get to the bottom of this."

The US Drug Watchdog is all about protecting innocent US consumers from what could be dangerous drugs, or pharmaceuticals.
