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 UnitedHealthcare Options PPO

 

Understanding UnitedHealthcare Options PPO

 

The UnitedHealthcare Options PPO is a type of health insurance plan offered by UnitedHealthcare that gives you the freedom to choose from a wide network of doctors and hospitals. This plan is designed to balance lower costs when you use the network with the flexibility to seek care outside of it. It is ideal for individuals and families who want quality coverage with the freedom to see specialists without needing a referral.

 

Key Features and Benefits

 
  • Flexibility in Provider Choice: You can choose in-network providers to enjoy lower out-of-pocket costs, but you also have the option to go out-of-network if needed. However, using out-of-network providers typically means higher copays and coinsurance.
  • No Referral Required: Most times, you don’t need a referral from a primary care physician in order to see a specialist, making it easier and faster to access specialized care.
  • Preventive Care Benefits: Many preventive services such as immunizations, screenings, and annual check-ups are covered at 100% when you use a network provider, with no cost to you.
  • Standardized Coverage Periods: Coverage usually begins after an enrollment period which can be as short as 30 days. Once enrolled, you typically have access to continuous care with claims processed within 10-14 business days.
  • Cost-Effective Options: The plan is structured with different tiers. Staying within the network typically means lower deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, which might be in the range of $3,000 to $5,000 annually depending on the specific plan details.

 

How It Works in Practice

 
  • Enrollment: You can usually enroll during open enrollment or if you experience a qualifying life event. Benefits typically start at the beginning of the following month, around 30 days after your enrollment is finalized.
  • Using the Network: When you choose in-network providers, you benefit from negotiated rates which lead to lower costs. Out-of-network services are still covered but at a higher cost-sharing percentage.
  • Claims Processing: Claims are usually processed within 10 to 14 business days. You can track your claims through UnitedHealthcare’s online portal, which provides details on payment and any additional amounts you may owe.
  • Customer Support: UnitedHealthcare offers extensive customer support, including online resources, toll-free numbers, and mobile apps that help you locate providers, review benefits, and manage your claims—all aimed to make the experience as smooth and transparent as possible.

 

Practical Considerations

 
  • Choosing Providers: Before scheduling an appointment, check UnitedHealthcare’s online directory to confirm that your doctor or hospital is in-network. This can help you avoid unexpected costs.
  • Understanding Costs: Look at the plan details to understand the deductible (often between $500 and $2,000 for individuals) and the coinsurance you'll need to cover after meeting the deductible. The plan often sets an out-of-pocket maximum which limits your total spending for covered services each year.
  • Emergency Care: In emergencies, while you are encouraged to visit in-network facilities when possible, the plan provides coverage for out-of-network services as well. Review specific emergency care details in your plan booklet to know the exact benefits and cost-sharing percentages.
  • Plan Comparison: If you are comparing plans, consider how frequently you travel or live in multiple locations. UnitedHealthcare Options PPO offers nationwide networks that can be an advantage if you need care while away from home.

 

Summary

 
  • The UnitedHealthcare Options PPO plan offers a balance of cost savings through a preferred provider network while allowing flexibility for out-of-network care.
  • Enrollment typically results in coverage starting around 30 days after the process is completed, and claims are processed within 10-14 business days.
  • Well-organized preventive care, no referral mandates, and a large provider network make it a practical option for families and individuals desiring both convenience and comprehensive coverage.

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
