This is often a first sign of an allergic reaction. It's a sensation that makes you want to scratch your skin where you've received the injection.
An allergic reaction may also induce localized swelling on the area where the vaccine was administered. If the swelling doesn't subside or grows larger, it might be a sign of a severe allergic reaction.
These are itchy, raised welts that occur on the skin. Hives are usually a sign of an allergic reaction. In the case of an allergy to the Zoster vaccine, they may appear around the injection site or on other parts of the body.
An allergic reaction to the Zoster vaccine may lead to difficulty in breathing. This could express itself as shortness of breath or a tight feeling in the chest. It is a serious symptom which demands immediate medical attention.
A rapid or irregular heartbeat can also be a sign of a severe allergic reaction to the Zoster vaccine. This symptom, like difficulty breathing, is considered serious and requires medical attention instantly.
Dizziness or a feeling of lightheadedness, often leading to fainting, can be an indicator of a serious allergic reaction to the vaccine. This symptom could possibly due to a drop in blood pressure caused by the reaction.

Recognize Common Allergy Symptoms

If you have a known gelatin or neomycin allergy, it's crucial to stay away from the Zoster vaccine. This vaccine includes these substances and getting it might bring severe allergic reactions. Always make sure you discuss any allergies you have with your healthcare provider before getting vaccinated.
If you've had an allergic reaction to a previous dose of the herpes zoster vaccine or a reaction to any other vaccine, it's best to avoid the Zoster vaccine. Previous reactions are often predictive of how your body might react to future vaccines.
Before opting for the Zoster vaccine, consult your healthcare provider. They would be able to provide a detailed risk assessment based on your medical history and guide you on whether the vaccine is safe for you or not.
If after receiving any vaccine, you experience signs of severe allergy such as difficulty breathing, dizziness, or a rapid heartbeat, seek medical attention immediately. Acting swiftly might help avoid severe consequences of the allergic reaction.

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.
