About Curex

An online allergy and asthma clinic for adults and children, in all 50 states.

Who we are

Curex is an online allergy and asthma clinic that delivers prescription allergy immunotherapy — allergy drops and at-home allergy shots — to adults and children who want to treat the cause of their allergies without clinic visits.

Every program is prescribed by a licensed physician via telemedicine, prepared by a specialty pharmacy, and shipped to your door.

Treatments and testing

Allergy drops for environmental allergies

Daily sublingual drops for pollen, dust mite, mold and pet allergies. A Curex physician prescribes a formula matched to your test results; a specialty pharmacy compounds it and ships it to your home. Over time, your immune system becomes desensitized so symptoms fade instead of being masked.

Allergy drops for food allergies

Daily sublingual drops for IgE-mediated food allergies in patients as young as 2. Physicians trained in food allergy and pediatrics supervise every step by telemedicine. The goal is to pass a supervised food challenge and be cleared to eat small amounts of the food safely.

At-home allergy shots

The same allergy shots an allergist’s office gives, prescribed by allergy physicians and prepared by a specialty pharmacy. Protocols are designed for safe self-administration at home, with a care manager and physician supervising online. No weekly clinic visits.

Allergy testing

IgE blood testing for environmental and food allergies, three ways: visit a local lab (Curex partners with Quest, Labcorp and others), have a phlebotomist come to you, or use an at-home self-collection kit. Insurance is accepted for testing.

Eczema treatment

Compounded steroidal and non-steroidal creams for moderate to severe eczema, prescribed to stop the itch and reduce flare-ups. Physician-supervised online, prepared by a specialty pharmacy, delivered to your door.

Quickie nasal spray

A personalized, prescription-strength nasal spray for people whose symptoms don’t respond to over-the-counter options. Prescribed by a Curex physician and shipped to your home.
