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.

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.

FAQ

How fast does the Quickie Nasal Spray work?

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.

What symptoms does the Nasal Spray treat?

Sneezing runny nose, nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy nose. Great for outdoor allergies, indoor dust, or when pollen spikes unexpectedly.

Will it cause rebound congestion like Afrin?

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.

What’s the difference between this and over-the-counter sprays?

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.

Does it have a bad taste or drip down the throat?

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.

Can I use it with my other allergy meds?

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.

Is this FDA-approved?

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.

Are there any side effects?

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.

How long should I use it for?

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.

Will it make me drowsy?

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.

Can my child use Quickie Nasal Spray?

Yes, Quickie Spray can be prescribed for children aged 6 and up, based on your provider’s clinical evaluation.

How often should I use it?

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.

What is Aetna Open Access Managed Choice

 

Aetna Open Access Managed Choice Overview

 
  • What It Is: Aetna Open Access Managed Choice is a managed care plan that blends elements of traditional Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) with an open access feature. This means you have a network of high-quality in-network providers to help control costs while also enjoying extra flexibility in seeing specialists.
  • Flexibility in Care: Unlike many strict HMOs, this plan often allows you to see certain specialists without the need for a referral from a primary care physician. However, it is still recommended to use your primary care doctor to coordinate your overall care, as this can help maintain the plan’s cost effectiveness and care quality.
  • In-Network Focus: The plan emphasizes using Aetna’s high-quality network. Providers in this network have pre-negotiated rates with Aetna, which means your out-of-pocket costs (such as copays and coinsurance) are usually lower. If you choose to see an out-of-network provider, the plan typically provides coverage too, but your share of the costs will be greater.
  • Cost Sharing Details:
    • Annual deductibles are typically in the range of approximately $500 to $1,500, depending on your specific plan design.
    • Copays for primary care visits might be around $20, while specialist visits can be approximately $40. These numbers can vary based on the plan you choose.
  • Additional Benefits: You usually receive comprehensive coverage that includes preventive care (often provided without a copayment), prescription drug benefits, and wellness programs. Routine annual preventative services (like check-ups and certain screenings) are generally covered 100% when received from an in-network provider.
  • Enrollment and Activation: Once you sign up, it generally takes about 2 to 4 weeks for the enrollment process to be finalized. Most plans become effective at the start of the following month after your enrollment is processed, though actual dates may vary based on the employer or group contract.
  • Coordinated Care: Your primary care doctor plays a central role in managing your health care. They help coordinate any referrals if you need to see specialists outside the open access benefit, ensuring that all parts of your care work together seamlessly.
 

Why Choose Aetna Open Access Managed Choice?

 
  • Simplicity and Flexibility: It offers the simplicity of a managed care plan with the flexibility to access certain specialty care services without administrative barriers.
  • Cost Efficiency: By using a network of providers with negotiated rates, you can potentially reduce your overall health care costs while receiving coordinated care.
  • Preventive Focus: Emphasis on preventive care and chronic condition management can help keep you healthier over time, often at little or no extra cost.
  • Patient-Centered Management: Your primary care provider guides your health journey, making sure that your care is well-coordinated and adapted to your needs.

Why prevention is more effective than allergy medicine

Exposure therapy:
Train your immune system to fight allergies rather than treat them with medications
Desensitization: Symptoms subside as your body desensitized to allergies reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication
Prevention: Immunotherapy helps prevent and fight allergies at the source
