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 Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Advantage

 

What is Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Advantage?

 

  • Overview: Blue Advantage is a Medicare Advantage plan offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield companies. It is designed for people who are already enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B and provides additional benefits not covered by Original Medicare, such as prescription drug coverage, vision, dental, and hearing services.
  • Coverage and Benefits:
    • Comprehensive Care: Combines hospital (Part A) and medical (Part B) benefits with extra services, all under one plan.
    • Prescription Coverage: Often includes an integrated Part D benefit for medication costs, reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
    • Additional Services: May cover dental, vision, and hearing services, along with wellness programs like gym membership discounts or preventive care checks.
  • Cost and Out-of-Pocket Expenses:
    • Monthly Premiums: Many Blue Advantage plans offer low or even $0 monthly premiums, although this can vary based on the plan and your location.
    • Cost-Sharing: Copayments and coinsurance amounts for doctor visits and services are typically lower than those in traditional Medicare.
    • Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum: Most plans have an annual limit on what you pay out-of-pocket (often around $5,000 to $7,000), after which the plan covers 100% of approved services.
  • Eligibility and Enrollment:
    • Who Can Enroll: Individuals aged 65 or older or younger people with certain disabilities who are already enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B.
    • Enrollment Periods:
      • Annual Election Period: October 15 – December 7 (with coverage starting on January 1).
      • Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment: January 1 – March 31.
  • Provider Networks and Care Coordination: Blue Advantage plans work with a network of doctors, hospitals, and specialists to ensure coordinated care. This focus on integrated care helps manage chronic conditions and emphasizes preventive services.
  • Customized Options: Since Blue Advantage plans can vary by state and region, it’s important to compare the plans available in your area to choose the one that best meets your healthcare needs and budget.

 

How to Choose and Enroll in a Blue Advantage Plan

 

  • Assess Your Healthcare Needs: Compare the benefits of Original Medicare with the extras provided by a Blue Advantage plan. If you need additional coverage for prescriptions, dental, vision, or wellness services, Blue Advantage might be the better option.

  • Pay Attention to Enrollment Windows:
    • Annual Election Period: October 15 – December 7 (coverage effective January 1).
    • Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment: January 1 – March 31.
  • Plan Processing Times: Once you submit your enrollment forms, processing typically takes about 10-15 business days, so plan ahead to ensure your coverage starts as needed.
  • Speak with a BCBS Representative: For personalized guidance or if you have any remaining questions, contact Blue Cross Blue Shield directly. Their experts can help clarify plan details and assist with the enrollment process.

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
