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 Polio Vaccine

Recognizing an allergy to the Polio Vaccine involves observing symptoms typically associated with allergic reactions shortly after receiving the vaccine. Understanding these can help identify if the reaction is specific to the Polio Vaccine.

Common Allergic Reaction Symptoms

Hives or Rash: Look for red, itchy, and raised welts on the skin appearing after vaccination.
Swelling: Notice any swelling of the face, lips, throat, or extremities, indicating an immune response.
Difficulty Breathing: Observe signs of wheezing, shortness of breath, or tightness in the chest.
Anaphylaxis: Be alert for severe, life-threatening symptoms such as a rapid drop in blood pressure or loss of consciousness, though this is rare.

Timing of Symptoms

Allergic reactions typically occur within minutes to a few hours after receiving the vaccine. Monitor symptoms during this window to connect them specifically to the Polio Vaccine.

Consulting Healthcare Professionals

If symptoms arise, consult a healthcare provider for assessment, including allergy testing, to confirm whether the Polio Vaccine or another substance is responsible.

Assessing Other Factors

Consider exposure to other potential allergens, such as food or environmental triggers, that may coincide with receiving the vaccine, to rule out other causes.

Review Vaccine Ingredients

Examine the list of components in the vaccine with your healthcare provider for known allergens that you might be sensitive to, such as antibiotics or stabilizers found in the vaccine formulation.

Tips for Avoiding Polio Vaccine Allergy

‍

Consult with a Healthcare Professional

Before receiving the polio vaccine, consult a healthcare professional to discuss any previous allergic reactions to vaccines or known allergies to vaccine components. This allows for a thorough assessment of potential risks and alternative options if necessary.

Read Vaccine Ingredients

It's essential to be informed about the ingredients contained in the polio vaccine. Those with specific allergies can avoid reactions by checking the vaccine ingredients list, including inactivated virus strains or any preservatives, beforehand.

Monitor for Immediate Reactions

After receiving the polio vaccine, stay under observation for a brief period as recommended by the healthcare provider. This allows for the rapid identification and treatment of any immediate allergic reactions, minimizing severe outcomes.

Maintain a Medical History Record

Maintain a comprehensive medical history, including documented allergic reactions to past vaccines. Sharing this record with healthcare providers aids in forming a personalized vaccination plan that considers your specific medical needs.

Allergy FAQ

‍

What ingredients in the Polio Vaccine can trigger an allergic reaction?

Ingredients Triggering Allergic Reactions in Polio Vaccine

**Neomycin, Streptomycin, and Polymyxin B**: Antibiotics used in the vaccine manufacturing process can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.

**2-Phenoxyethanol**: This preservative is generally well tolerated, but some may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions.

**Formaldehyde**: Utilized in inactivating the virus, it can provoke allergies in sensitive individuals.

How is a Polio Vaccine allergy diagnosed by healthcare professionals?

Diagnosis of Polio Vaccine Allergy

**Clinical Evaluation**: Healthcare professionals begin by reviewing the patient's medical history and noting any immediate or delayed reactions following prior vaccine doses.

**Physical Examination**: A detailed physical exam is conducted to check for common allergic reactions, such as skin rashes, hives, or respiratory symptoms.

**Allergy Testing**: Skin prick tests or blood tests (such as a RAST test) may be performed to detect specific IgE antibodies related to the vaccine components.

**Exposure Challenge**: In some cases, a controlled exposure under medical supervision might be necessary to confirm the allergy.

Can a person with a Polio Vaccine allergy safely receive other types of vaccines?

Consideration for Other Vaccines

Individuals with a polio vaccine allergy should consult a healthcare provider to evaluate the specific allergen and assess risk for other vaccines.

All vaccines have unique formulations, so a polio vaccine allergy does not automatically mean allergies to other vaccines.

Pre-vaccination assessments and alternative formulations or components may exist, allowing safe vaccination with other vaccines.

It's essential to provide a detailed medical history to ensure proper evaluation and guidance.
