This is one of the most common symptoms of gels allergy. It may manifest as redness, itchiness or swelling on the area of the skin where the gel was applied.
In severe cases, people allergic to gels may experience shortness of breath, wheezing, or other breathing difficulties. This occurs if the body's immune system reacts strongly to the allergen and affects the respiratory system.
Some people allergic to gels may develop hives or rashes. These reddish, bumpy, and itchy patches can appear anywhere on the body and can vary in size.
For some individuals, a gel allergy can cause parts of the body, especially the face, lips, or eyes, to swell. This symptom might develop immediately or several hours after exposure to the allergen.
If the allergic reaction is severe, it can lead to digestive problems such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.
A very severe reaction to a gel allergy could lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms include severe shortness of breath, rapid pulse, drop in blood pressure, dizziness, or loss of consciousness.

Do not use gels from unknown brands just because they are cheaper. These can often contain unregulated and potentially harmful ingredients which can lead to allergies. Always opt for reputable brands that disclose all ingredients and have approval from the necessary regulatory bodies.
Before fully applying a gel, do a patch test on a small portion of your skin first. This way, you can observe if your skin will react negatively to the product. If any irritation, swelling, redness, or itching occurs, immediately cease usage of that gel.
Always read the ingredient label before using a gel. If you are aware of any allergies you have, look out for those allergens in the product's ingredients. Even if you do not have known allergies, be cautious of common allergens like fragrances, parabens, and certain preservatives.
If you have sensitive skin or a history of skin allergies, it's always safe to consult with a dermatologist upon selecting skin care products, including gels. They can provide professional advice based on your skin type and possible allergens to avoid.

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.
