About ColdZyme®
ColdZyme® is a medical device product in the form of an oral spray used for colds and cold-like symptoms. The product is applied in the mouth and throat—where many respiratory viruses first establish themselves. ColdZyme® is based on a unique barrier technology that forms a protective layer in the throat. This layer captures viruses and inhibits their ability to infect cells and spread. By acting early in the course of infection, ColdZyme® may help shorten the duration of a cold and significantly reduce symptom severity.
The effect of ColdZyme® has been demonstrated in clinical studies that show significant improvements in both symptom duration and intensity in colds. ColdZyme® is a medical device certified under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR, Class III), meaning it meets high standards for safety, quality, and clinical documentation.
