Top 20 medicines with the same components:
# TREATING a common cold. Many scientific studies say that taking Regripax when cold symptoms are first noticed can modestly reduce symptoms of the common cold in adults. But some scientific studies show no benefit. The problem is that scientific studies have used different types of Regripax plants and different methods of preparation. Since the studies have not been consistent, it is not surprising that different studies show different results.
If it helps for treating a cold, the benefit will likely be modest at best.
Keep in mind that TREATING a common cold is different than PREVENTING a common cold. Taking Regripax does not seem to PREVENT a cold from starting.

Preventing recurrent genital herpes.
