One of the primary symptoms of a nitrites allergy is difficulty breathing. This occurs as the body reacts to the allergen, leading to narrowing of airways and causing shortness of breath.
People with nitrites allergy can develop hives, a skin condition characterized by itchy swellings. These red bumps or welts can appear anywhere on the body and are a strong indication of an allergic reaction.
Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat can happen in reaction to nitrites. This can become dangerous if the swelling is severe and affects breathing.
Stomach upset, including nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea, are common symptoms of an allergy to nitrites. These issues arise as the body tries to purge the allergen.
Allergies often cause inflammation in the nasal passages leading to a runny or blocked nose. This symptom can be particularly uncomfortable and persistent in individuals allergic to nitrites.
In severe cases, exposure to nitrites can trigger an anaphylactic reaction. This is a life-threatening emergency that can cause a rapid pulse, sudden drop in blood pressure, dizziness, fainting, or loss of consciousness, and requires immediate medical attention.

Nitrites are most commonly found in processed foods, especially meats such as hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, and lunch meats. Minimize your consumption of these foods and prioritize fresh, whole foods instead.
Always read food labels carefully as nitrites are often listed as sodium nitrite or potassium nitrite. Avoid purchasing items with these ingredients.
There are many nitrite-free alternatives available for the most common sources of nitrites like hot dogs and bacon. These are a safer choice for those who are allergic to nitrites.
A regular detoxification regimen can help expel harmful toxins such as nitrites from your body. This can be achieved through a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and plenty of water.

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.
