Individuals with a Mollusks allergy may experience swelling or itching, particularly around the mouth, face, lips, tongue, or throat. These symptoms usually occur soon after ingesting the allergen.
Another common symptom is the development of a skin rash or hives. These red, itchy bumps can surface anywhere on the body and are a direct reaction to the allergen.
Abdominal discomfort, cramping, or pain are prevalent symptoms for individuals allergic to Mollusks. This symptom is due to the body's immune response to the perceived threat.
Some people may feel nauseous or even vomit when they have consumed Mollusks, and they are allergic to it. Nausea and vomiting are common gastrointestinal responses to allergens.
Dizziness or lightheadedness might occur due to the body’s reaction to the allergen. These symptoms may occur alongside other symptoms and might be more severe in some individuals than others.
Anaphylaxis is a severe and life-threatening reaction that can occur in people with serious allergies, including an allergy to Mollusks. Symptoms can include trouble breathing, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, severe drop in blood pressure, and loss of consciousness. It is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention and treatment.
Recognize your symptoms?

If you believe you have mollusk allergies, it's crucial to understand how to go about recognising the symptoms. Below is a guide to assist you in this.
Understand Common Allergy Symptoms
Observe The Timing
Allergic reactions to food, like mollusks, typically occur within a few minutes to an hour after ingestion. If you notice these symptoms appearing in this time frame after eating mollusks, it might be indicative of an allergy.
Consider Your Diet
It's important to take into account what you have recently consumed. If you have consumed mollusks such as oysters, clams, squid, or octopus, and are experiencing these symptoms, then you might have a mollusk allergy.
Seek Professional Help
If you suspect that you might be allergic to mollusks, it is important to get tested by an allergist to confirm your suspicions. A skin test or blood test can identify specific allergies and determine the best way to manage them.

One of the most effective ways to prevent mollusk allergies is by avoiding the consumption of mollusks altogether. This includes foods like oysters, clams, squid, and snails. Remember, it's possible that even the smell of these foods being cooked could trigger an allergic reaction in some individuals.
Accidental exposure to mollusks often occurs because they are hidden in processed foods. Therefore, ensure that you read food labels thoroughly before purchasing any food products. Beware of words like 'seafood extract' or 'natural flavors' that might indicate the presence of mollusks.
When dining out, choose restaurants that are known to handle food allergies seriously. Ensure they understand your allergy condition and take necessary precautions while preparing your food. Be cautious about cross-contamination, especially when dining in seafood restaurants.
Individuals with severe mollusk allergies should always carry an epinephrine autoinjector in case of accidental exposure. Don't hesitate to use it if you suspect you're having an allergic reaction, and seek immediate medical help afterwards.

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.
