Executive Summary
Zinc lozenge marketer plans to have its flagship product "available in the U.K. market and the rest of the EU to follow as a full-blown pharmacy drug," President and CEO Guy Quigley says during a Dec. 7 conference call. Quigley notes the company has just completed a double-blind study, which it regards as the final step in its filing with the U.K. Medicines Control Agency.

Quigley notes the settlement does not prohibit the firm from making claims concerning the duration or severity of the common cold and says the only packaging changes that need to be made involve Sugar-free Cold-Eeze
