Most colds occur during thefall and winter because cold-causing viruses survive better when humidity is low, which is the norm during fall and winter. “Antibiotics should never be prescribed for a cold. They are ineffective against viruses, including the cold virus,” Horovitz said. “COLD-EEZE actually helps people get better faster, unlike over-thecounter decongestants and antihistamines that provide only temporary symptom relief.” CoLp-EEZE cold drops are recommended by pharmacists four to one over its nearest competitor according to a Pharmacy Times survey.
