This symptom represents a severe allergic reaction known as angioedema. It is characterized by a rapid swelling under the skin in these areas. This could potentially be life-threatening if it leads to difficulty in breathing due to the swelling of the throat.
The body’s immune system can react to a laxative allergy by manifesting in a skin rash. This can include itchy, red, and swollen skin or may also present as hives, which are red, itchy welts.
As an allergic reaction, shortness of breath may develop. This can occur if the allergic reaction causes the airways to constrict and limit the airflow to the lungs.
This usually presents as discomfort or pain in the stomach area. This can occur due to the body's immune system reacting against the laxative.
Vomiting or diarrhea occurs when the body’s immune system tries to expel the allergen. These symptoms may appear shortly after consuming the laxative.
Dizziness or fainting could indicate anaphylaxis, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. The drastic decrease in blood pressure can lead to light-headedness or loss of consciousness.
Recognize your symptoms?

Recognize that You are Experiencing Allergic Symptoms After Taking Laxatives
Every time you take a laxative, you experience unpleasant symptoms that align with an allergic reaction. These reactions could happen immediately or take up to a couple of days to manifest. Symptoms to look out for include:
Identify the Specific Laxative Triggering Your Allergic Reaction
If you're able to confirm that your symptoms are indeed an allergic reaction, the next step is to identify what specific laxative is causing the reaction. This involves careful observation or testing. If you experience allergic reactions after consuming certain laxatives but not others, the culprit might be one or more specific compounds present in the offending medication.
Consult With a Medical Professional
Once you've noted your symptoms and possibly identified your laxative of concern, consult with a healthcare professional. They will help confirm the diagnosis and recommend a suitable treatment plan.
Undergo Allergy Testing
If the laxative causing the allergic reaction can't be pinpointed clearly, your doctor may suggest performing allergy tests. These measures can help conclusively identify the offending agent in the laxative.
Carefully Monitor Your Symptoms
It's important to monitor your symptoms even after avoiding the suspected laxative. If symptoms persist, it could indicate that you're allergic to another substance as well, and further testing could be needed. Similarly, if symptoms subside, your suspicion about allergy to a certain laxative might be correct.

Before you start taking laxatives, it’s essential to consult with your healthcare provider. Discuss your health history, including your allergies. If you've had a past reaction to laxatives, your doctor might recommend alternatives or preventive measures to avoid an allergic reaction.
Ensure you read the labels of any laxatives carefully before use. Identifying potential allergens in the ingredients list can help you avoid intake and subsequent reactions. Manufacturers tend to list common allergens in bold or italics.
If you've never used a particular type of laxative before, start with small doses. This can help you identify any adverse reactions before they become severe. If you notice any allergy symptoms after taking the laxative, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor.
Using natural remedies for constipation could be a safer option if you're allergic to laxatives. This might include dietary changes, such as increased intake of fiber and fluids, regular physical activity, or alternative medications. However, always consult your doctor before making any significant changes to your health regimen.

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.
