The AP reported, "Zicam and hundreds of other homeopathic remedies - highly diluted drugs made from natural ingredients - are legally sold as treatments with explicit claims of medical benefit." These products "don't require federal checks for safety, effectiveness, or even the right ingredients," but "many scientists view homeopathic remedies as...mostly harmless because the drugs in them are present in such tiny amounts." One analysis, however, "found that more than 800 homeopathic ingredients were potentially implicated in health problems last year." And, although "the FDA has set strict limits for alcohol in medicine, especially for small children...they don't apply to homeopathic remedies."
