Curex is the place to go for all your allergy questions and needs. Led by healthcare entrepreneurs and allergy clinicians, Curex is an integrated, online telemedicine clinic for people who suffer from environmental allergies (e.g., indoor, outdoor or pet), asthma, and eczema.

Curex is the largest online allergy and asthma clinic in the U.S. We started because our clinicians wanted to offer more convenient and affordable allergy and asthma care for everyone. So far we have attracted more than 50,000 customers from every U.S. state. We are proud to have the highest patient satisfaction and loyalty rates in the industry. Our service has been audited and certified by LegitScript.com.

What services do you offer?

Curex provides comprehensive care for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and eczema. This includes customized sublingual immunotherapy, at-home concierge allergy testing, and symptom management. Our goal is to provide accessibility and quality of allergy care in the U.S.

Does Curex accept insurance?

Curex accepts the majority of insurance plans across the United States, including Aetna, Anthem, United, Humana, and others. While it is difficult to estimate out-of-pocket costs prior to a claim being submitted, our team will work with you to make sure your treatment is as affordable as possible. For that purpose, we also cap copays at $500/year. In addition, Curex accepts HSA and FSA.

What conditions do you treat?

We focus on indoor and outdoor allergies caused by environmental or inhalant allergies, like those caused by pollens, weeds, grasses, dust mites, molds, and pets. We also treat allergic asthma and eczema, as these conditions are closely related to allergies.

What is immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a longstanding form of treatment that aims to meaningfully reduce the underlying cause of indoor/outdoor allergies and related conditions. It is frequently practiced by using allergen extracts for shots or allergy tablets. Treatment plans are customized to the individual patient based on medical profile, test results, and lifestyle needs.

Can my child use Curex?

Curex serves adults and children as young as 5 years old. Certain tests and treatments may be limited for younger kids. Start by answering the quiz, so that our clinicians can recommend the best testing and treatment options.

Does Curex treat food allergies?

Curex currently treats allergies to tree, weed, grass pollens, pet allergies, dust mites, mold, and cockroach. We do not treat food, metal, venom, or flower allergies.

What is your cancellation policy?

Treatments are shipped in 3-month installments in all plans. Cancellations are accepted prior to the next refill being compounded by the pharmacy (so you can get a partial refund on a prepayment plan). To cancel or pause subscriptions, please email our team at hi@getcurex.com.

How does allergy testing work?

Depending on your location, we send a phlebotomist (medical assistant) to your home or office for a simple blood draw (not a finger prick). This sample is then processed using hospital-grade technology to produce accurate results. In some areas, you may need to go into a local lab for your blood draw. We work with LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics. This is an IgE blood test that results in more accurate results compared to finger prick tests that are available online through some companies. This is not a skin scratch test where an allergist spends 30+ minutes injecting you with small doses of allergens to see if any swelling or reaction occurs.

Is sublingual immunotherapy safe?

Studies have shown a significantly lower risk for anaphylaxis relative to allergy shots, allowing you to take them in the comfort of your own home. If recommended by your Curex-affiliated clinician, or if you prefer, your first dose may be monitored to ensure proper usage. Clinicians will also assist in helping you manage any side effects that you may experience.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Pertussis Vaccine

Recognizing an allergy to the Pertussis Vaccine involves observing symptoms that specifically follow vaccination and evaluating those in consultation with healthcare professionals. Here’s a guide to identifying whether an allergy is present.

Observe Immediate Reactions Post-Vaccination

Rash or Hives: Look for the presence of red, itchy welts appearing on the skin shortly after receiving the vaccine.
Swelling: Note any unusual swelling, particularly around the injection site but also possibly in the face or throat.
Difficulty Breathing: Be aware of any breathing difficulties, which can signal a serious allergic reaction.

Consult Healthcare Professionals

Medical Evaluation: Always have a healthcare provider evaluate symptoms after vaccine administration to distinguish between typical side effects and possible allergic reactions.
Allergy Testing: Seek allergy testing that can confirm if the ingredients in the Pertussis Vaccine are triggers for your reactions.

Understand Distinguishing Factors from Other Allergies

Timing of Reaction: Allergic reactions to vaccines usually occur within minutes to a few hours after administration, helping distinguish them from other potential allergens.
Ingredients Awareness: Be aware of specific vaccine ingredients like preservatives, adjuvants, or stabilizers that might uniquely contribute to an allergic response, which wouldn’t be the case in other allergies.

Monitor for Severe Symptoms

Anaphylaxis: Recognize severe symptoms like anaphylaxis that require immediate emergency medical attention. These symptoms are indicative of a serious allergy.
ongoing monitoring: Keep an eye on symptoms that persist or worsen over several days following vaccination.

Tips for Avoiding Pertussis Vaccine Allergy

‍

Consult with Healthcare Provider

Before receiving the pertussis vaccine, discuss any known allergies or previous adverse reactions to vaccines with your healthcare provider. They can assess your medical history and possibly run additional tests to ensure the vaccine is safe for you.

Check Vaccine Components

Inform yourself and your healthcare provider about the specific components of the pertussis vaccine. If you have known allergies to any of the ingredients, an alternative type of vaccine or specific precautions might be recommended.

Be Aware of Allergy Symptoms

Understand the common signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. This knowledge will help in seeking immediate medical care if you notice any symptoms post-vaccination.

Schedule Post-Vaccine Monitoring

Arrange to remain at the healthcare facility for a period after receiving the vaccine. This allows medical professionals to promptly address any immediate allergic reactions, offering swift treatment if necessary.

Allergy FAQ

‍

Are there alternatives to the Pertussis Vaccine for those with allergies?

Alternatives to Pertussis Vaccine

For individuals allergic to the Pertussis vaccine, alternative preventive measures can be considered.

Close contacts of a vulnerable person should ensure their own vaccinations are up to date, practicing herd immunity.

In outbreak scenarios, wearing masks, practicing good hygiene, and avoiding crowded places can help reduce the risk of infection.

Consult a healthcare provider for potential use of acellular pertussis rather than whole-cell vaccines, if sensitive to specific vaccine components.

What ingredients in the Pertussis Vaccine trigger allergic reactions?

Allergens in Pertussis Vaccine

Animal Proteins or Gelatin: Some vaccines may contain gelatin derived from animals, which can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Antibiotic Residues: Residual antibiotics like neomycin or polymyxin B are sometimes used in vaccine production to prevent bacterial contamination and can cause allergic reactions.

Adjuvants: Substances such as aluminum salts used to enhance vaccine efficacy may provoke hypersensitivity in some people.

Preservatives: Thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, has been known for causing allergies in certain cases, although its usage is reduced in most vaccines today.

How to test for an allergy to the Pertussis Vaccine?

Testing for Allergy to Pertussis Vaccine

Consult with an allergist, who can help determine if a vaccine allergy test is necessary. Initial consultation involves a detailed medical history review.

Skin testing may be conducted where small amounts of the vaccine are injected or applied on the skin to check for a reaction.

Blood tests, such as specific IgE testing, can be performed to identify allergic antibodies related to the vaccine.

A supervised vaccine challenge may be considered, where a small dose is administered under medical supervision to observe any allergic reactions.
