Curex does not treat this allergen







Dr. Chet Tharpe, M.D..
Updated May 3, 2025
Individuals allergic to coffee may experience skin reactions such as rashes, hives, or eczema. These can be itchy and uncomfortable, often appearing soon after consuming coffee.
Some people may experience symptoms similar to asthma such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, or a tight feeling in the chest. This is due to an allergic reaction causing inflammation in the airways.
Symptoms such as stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, or severe indigestion can occur in some individuals after the ingestion of coffee. These may be immediate or delayed responses to the allergen.
In severe cases, allergic reactions can cause swelling around the mouth, face, lips, tongue, and throat. This can be dangerous if it obstructs the breathing passages.
This is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. Symptoms can include difficulty breathing, dizziness, rapid or weak pulse, low blood pressure, and loss of consciousness. If not treated immediately, anaphylaxis can be fatal.
Rhinitis symptoms could include a runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose and postnasal drip. As a result of the body's reaction to what it perceives as an invasive substance, inflammation of the nasal passages may occur.

Recognize Coffee Allergy Symptoms
As with allergies to other substances, coffee allergies are triggered by an immune response in the body. The following symptoms may indicate that you have an allergy to coffee:
Elimination and Reintroduction Technique
If you suspect that you have a coffee allergy, you can use an elimination diet. This process involves:
Seek Professional Help
If self-monitoring and elimination diets do not provide clear answers, or if you experience severe symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention. A healthcare professional can conduct an allergy test to confirm whether or not you are allergic to coffee.

The easiest way to avoid an allergy to coffee is by staying away from it. If you have found that you have an allergic reaction to coffee, the best thing you can do for your health is avoid consuming it altogether. This includes avoiding not only coffee beverages, but also foods that may contain coffee flavors or extracts.
If you are a coffee lover and find it hard to avoid, try to replace it with other types of caffeine-free herbal drinks, tea, or even hot chocolate. Although these alternatives do not have the same taste as coffee, they can help satisfy your cravings and reduce your exposure to coffee allergens.
If you suspect that you have a coffee allergy, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or an allergist. They can conduct allergy tests to determine if coffee is really causing you a problem and provide appropriate advice and treatment.
Some people may benefit from an approach known as gradual desensitization, which essentially involves exposing your body to small amounts of coffee to build up tolerance. However, this should be carried out under medical supervision, as it may have serious side effects if not managed properly.

Coffee Growing Season in the U.S.
In the United States, coffee is primarily grown in Hawaii and California, though attempts have been made to grow it in other areas. The coffee growing season in Hawaii primarily occurs between November and April. During this time, the coffee plants bloom and the coffee cherries, which are ready to be picked, ripen. The exact timing can differ slightly based on specific weather conditions and location.
Coffee Harvesting
Note
Elevation and geographic location can impact the timing of the coffee growing season. California, for instance, is a more recent entrant into coffee production; its season may vary.

It’s a physician-prescribed, custom-compounded formula designed to target all your nasal symptoms at once — congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, sneezing, and more.

Formulated by doctors and pharmacologists and backed by clinical research, Quickie combines five powerful ingredients into one easy spray.

Typical prescription may include the following ingredients: Azelastine HCL 0.15%, Mometasone Furoate 0.05%, Oxymetazoline HCL 0.0125%, Ipratroprium 0.06%, Sodium Hyaluronate 0.04%.
Straight to the source. That’s Curex


Quickie is a compounded prescription medication, prepared by a licensed pharmacy. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA. It is prepared based on your provider’s evaluation of your symptoms and needs. Individual results may vary.

Lauren S.
No longer having to go the doctor's office a few times a week for painful shots.
Tony P.
I have done allergy shots in the past but found it pretty inconvenient to go every week. I really like the ease as compared with physically going to the doctors office.

Robert S.
The treatment is much less expensive than a course of allergy shots at a doctor's office and eliminates numerous trips to the doctor's and all the waiting time.
Janie L.
My seasonal allergies were much less severe than years prior. Most importantly, the convenience of taking drops in my own home is unbeatable.

Most patients feel relief within 15 minutes. We have both short-term relief ingredients as well as longer-term relief to keep you feeling better, longer. Some say it’s like turning off their allergies.
Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.
No, this formula uses a microdose of oxymetazoline, balanced with anti-inflammatory and moisturizing ingredients to reduce the risk of rebound congestion. Clinical studies over the last decade show that when oxymetazoline is combined with a corticosteroid, it can be used safely over the long term without causing rebound symptoms.
Quickie Spray combines up to five prescription-strength ingredients into a single, personalized formula — targeting multiple symptoms like congestion, post-nasal drip, and inflammation. OTC sprays typically address just one symptom and lack the synergy of a customized blend.
Some ingredients like azelastine may cause a slight taste, but many patients find it milder than traditional OTC sprays. Proper spray technique (head forward, not tilted back) helps minimize drip.We also offer an alternative formulation with olopatadine, which has a gentler taste profile and may be preferred by taste-sensitive patients.
Quickie is designed to replace most other allergy medications. But it is designed to compliment allergy immunotherapy for long-term relief. If you’re currently taking other antihistamines or nasal sprays, tell your Curex provider, so we can adjust your formula to avoid overlap or interactions.
No, Quickie is a personalized compounded prescription prepared by licensed U.S. pharmacies based on your doctor’s evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as commercial products, but they are regulated under federal and state pharmacy laws.
Possible side effects include nasal dryness, mild irritation, or occasional nosebleeds. These are typically mild and manageable. Let your Curex provider know about any bothersome or serious effects, so we can fine-tune your prescription if needed.
Quickie is safe for daily use, especially during the first 3–6 months of allergy immunotherapy, when symptoms are still active. Your Curex provider may adjust your dose or frequency as your immune system builds tolerance.
Quickie is designed to be non-sedating, so you can use it before work, school, or exercise without feeling groggy or foggy. In rare cases where drowsiness is reported, let your Curex provider know—we can easily adjust the formula to better suit your needs.
Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.
Follow the instructions from your Curex provider.Most patients are advised to use one spray per nostril, twice daily — morning and evening — for consistent relief.
