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.

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 Choice POS II

Aetna Open Choice POS II Overview

  • This is a Point of Service (POS) plan offered by Aetna that combines features of both Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs). It gives you the flexibility to choose providers inside Aetna’s network for lower out‐of-pocket costs while still allowing the option to see out‐of-network providers if necessary.
  • Under this plan, you generally select a primary care physician (PCP) who becomes your “care coordinator.” Your PCP can refer you to specialists when needed, which often results in lower costs and more coordinated care.
  • The plan is designed to offer a balance between flexibility and cost-efficiency. By using in-network providers, you typically enjoy lower deductibles, copays, and coinsurance rates.

Key Features and How It Works

  • Primary Care Physician (PCP): You are generally required to choose a PCP who will guide your care. For routine check-ups and initial consultations, this PCP helps coordinate your care and, if necessary, arranges referrals to specialists. Typical wait times for getting a referral are around 1–2 weeks, though urgent needs may be expedited.
  • In-Network vs. Out-of-Network:
    • If you visit providers within Aetna’s network, you usually benefit from lower copays—for example, around $25–$35 for a primary care visit and about $40–$50 for a specialist visit.
    • If you choose an out-of-network provider, your plan still covers a portion of the cost; however, you may face a higher deductible (often approximately $1,000 for individuals and around $2,000 for families per policy year) and increased coinsurance percentages (commonly 30–40% of the cost after the deductible is met).
  • Referral Requirements: To get the maximum benefits and lower costs, you should secure a referral from your PCP before seeing a specialist. Failing to do so may lead to higher out-of-pocket expenses.
  • Plan Year and Premiums: The plan typically follows an annual cycle (for example, January through December). Monthly premiums for Aetna Open Choice POS II can range from approximately $300 to $500 depending on factors such as your geographic region, age, and specific benefits selected.
  • Preventive Care: Many preventive services are covered at 100% if you use in-network providers, meaning you won’t have to pay anything out-of-pocket so long as you follow plan guidelines.
  • Emergency Services: In the case of emergencies, the plan usually covers urgent care whether you’re inside or outside the network, though costs might vary with out-of-network treatment. Typically, you may be responsible for only a modest copay or coinsurance expense if you use in-network emergency services.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Plan

  • Choose a Good PCP: Start by selecting a primary care provider in network to ensure you receive appropriate referrals and coordinated care.
  • Understand Your Coverage Details: Review your plan’s Summary of Benefits and Evidence of Coverage documents carefully to know the exact copays, deductibles, and coinsurance amounts. These documents provide approximate figures, such as a $1,000 individual deductible or specific copays for various services.
  • Plan Appointments in Advance: For non-urgent care, book your visits ahead of time with your PCP so that you can get timely referrals for any specialist visits you may need, generally within 1–2 weeks.
  • Use In-Network Providers: To keep your out-of-pocket costs lower, try to use in-network services whenever possible. If you need out-of-network care, be prepared for higher costs and ensure the services are absolutely necessary.
  • Stay Informed: Insurance details can change yearly. Keep an eye on communications from Aetna regarding any adjustments in premiums, deductibles, or copays.

Practical Example

  • You enroll at the beginning of the year (e.g., January 1), and your plan year runs until December 31.
  • You select a PCP from the Aetna network. When you need to see a specialist, you contact your PCP and get a referral which typically takes about 1–2 weeks.
  • If you visit an in-network primary care doctor, you might pay a copay of around $25; a specialist visit might cost you approximately $40. If you need to see a doctor outside the network, expect to meet a higher deductible (around $1,000) before benefits kick in, with coinsurance rates of roughly 30–40% thereafter.
  • Your monthly premium could be roughly $300–$500, with costs adjusted based on the specifics of your plan and personal circumstances.

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
