These are the label's claims, not ours. A product appears here because the Uses statement on its own FDA label mentions this, and for no other reason. This page does not say any of them works, does not compare them, and does not recommend one. If you are deciding what to take, that conversation belongs with a pharmacist.

Labels naming the common cold itself.
