I know to talk to my doctor but it’s after 5 and I know it’s important to start right away to shorten duration. I’m on Ibrutinib, obintuzinab, and venetoclax.

Did your doctor recommend Zicam? Cold symptoms? Flu symptoms? Given your treatment, I would try to reach your doctor if you haven't discussed Zicam specifically.
Always better to consult your doctor, but I doubt if taking Zicam would hurt. Might not help much either, especially if you are immunocompromised. Grapefruit, star fruit and blood oranges are contraindicated for venetoclax so check ingredients carefully first. Important to be monitored closely for any infection.
