"Patients experiencing such signs or symptoms should discontinue Ketek and seek medical evaluation, which may include tests for liver function." The signs and symptoms of Ketek liver failure include fatigue, malaise, loss of appetite, nausea, yellow skin and dark-colored urine.

Zicam Lawsuit
Several lawsuits have been filed alleging Zicam caused loss of smell (anosmia) and taste, and our lawyers are reviewing potential claims. We are gathering information about Zicam smell loss. Read more about Zicam: Zicam class action lawsuit, warning letter from the FDA to Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. regarding Zicam Cold Remedy nasal spray and gel swabs, Zicam recall.
After only one use of a Zicam Cold Remedy product, Bonnie Blodgett lost her sense of smell. A gradening writer and foodie, her life was drastically changed. She recently published Remembering Smell: A Memoir of Losing--and Discovering--the Primal Sense in which she chronicals her experience with losing her sense of smell and then slowly getting it back again.
Bonnie's experience with Zicam is similar to many of our other clients. They experienced a burning sensation during the first use of a Zicam product and then lost their sense of smell (anosmia). Most of them were not as fortunate as Bonnie and have not regained their sense of smell.
