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 Preferred PPO

 

What is Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Preferred PPO?

 
  • Plan Overview: Blue Cross Blue Shield Blue Preferred PPO is a Preferred Provider Organization plan offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield. This plan provides a network of healthcare providers that have agreed to offer services at pre-negotiated rates. It balances flexibility with cost efficiency by allowing you to see both in-network and out-of-network providers, although you’ll generally pay less for in-network care.
  • Flexibility and Choice: You have the freedom to choose your own doctors and hospitals. The network of Blue Preferred providers typically offers a good combination of quality and affordability. If you choose a provider outside the network, the plan still covers part of the costs, but you may need to pay higher deductibles or copayments.
  • Cost Structure:
    • Premiums: Monthly premiums vary from region to region and are based on factors such as age, location, and selected coverage level. On average, these might range from around $300 to $600 per month for individual plans (this is an approximate range and can vary widely based on specifics).
    • Deductibles, Copays, and Coinsurance: You typically pay an annual deductible, which is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket before insurance coverage kicks in. After that, you might have to cover a portion of the costs in the form of copayments (a fixed fee per service) or coinsurance (a percentage of the cost). For example, the deductible could be around $1,000 to $2,000 per year, with subsequent copays at $20-$40 per visit and coinsurance splits such as 20% for you and 80% for the plan.
  • Network Benefits:
    • The Blue Preferred network offers a wide range of healthcare providers including primary care physicians, specialists, hospitals, and clinics. This enables you to receive timely care near your home or workplace.
    • Typically, in-network services require pre-authorization for non-emergency procedures to ensure that the service is covered and to avoid unexpected costs.
  • Enrollment and Processing Times:
    • Once you apply for Blue Preferred PPO, the initial review and processing can take approximately 7-14 business days. This period includes verifying your details, determining eligibility, and setting an effective date for your plan.
    • Expect your coverage to begin within 1-2 months from application submission, depending on the specific enrollment time frame stated by your state and employer (if applicable).
  • Additional Features:
    • Preventive Care: The plan usually covers most preventive services at 100% when you visit in-network providers, which includes routine check-ups, immunizations, and screenings.
    • Customer Support: Blue Cross Blue Shield is known for comprehensive member resources including online account management, customer service hotlines, and access to a wealth of health information to help you navigate your benefits.
  • When to Choose Blue Preferred PPO:
    • If you value the flexibility to choose your healthcare providers while still enjoying cost benefits by staying in-network, this plan is a suitable option.
    • It is also beneficial if you anticipate a need for regular healthcare services or have specific providers you prefer who are part of the Blue Preferred network.
  • Steps to Enroll or Get More Information:
    • Visit your local Blue Cross Blue Shield website or contact their customer service to view detailed plan options and regional variations.
    • Review your current healthcare needs and financial situation to determine which premium and deductibles balance is best for you.
    • Consult with a licensed insurance agent if you have any detailed or personal queries about plan benefits, premiums, or enrollment deadlines. They can provide personalized guidance.

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
