<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Recently I went to the drug store to buy a package of zinc lozenges and of course, they were out. I spoke to the pharmasist who told me I would get the same results from taking a zinc tablet once a day while the symptoms persit. She said that's what she did and it's cheaper to buy the bottle of tablets. IT really works, and you don't have to worry about sucking on the lozenge and the taste of it. I use the Nature Made brand (no interest in the company - only glad they are gluten free).
