Nonprescription Cold Remedies Score Poorly
The National Academy of Sciences found less than 10 percent of effectiveness claims true after reviewing 27 OTC cold remedies. Coricidin and Contac were flagged as ineffective or possibly ineffective, while four products rated effective or potentially effective. The study covered 420 OTC drugs at FDA request, comparing to 60 percent effectiveness for prescription drugs. The FDA plans ongoing reviews and potential label revisions.
