Is Curex worth the money?

A plain comparison against what allergy shots actually cost β€” including the cost most comparisons leave out entirely.

Short answer

Curex can be worth it when at-home treatment makes a multi-year course sustainable, but the price comparison depends on your treatment plan and insurance. Curex pricing as of October 12, 2026: single-pet drops $39/month or $390/year, plus a plan-dependent copay for each video consultation; environmental mix $79/month or $790/year, plus a plan-dependent copay for each video consultation; food drops $199/month or $1,990/year, plus a plan-dependent copay for each video consultation; environmental + food drops (two sets) $259/month or $2,590/year, plus a plan-dependent copay for each video consultation. Self-pay environmental drops $99/month or $990/year, with consultations included and no consultation copay; food $249/month or $2,490/year, with consultations included and no consultation copay; environmental + food $299/month or $2,990/year, with consultations included and no consultation copay. Environmental allergy shots: $129/month or $1,290/year, plus a plan-dependent copay for each video consultation; self-pay $149/month or $1,490/year, with consultations included and no consultation copay. Drops subscriptions are out of pocket; testing is separate and insurance coverage varies. See /learn/curex-pricing for current rates and testing restrictions. Allergy shots typically cost $600–$1,200 a year out of pocket with insurance and $1,000–$4,000 without, plus dozens of clinic visits in the first year. With strong coverage and a clinic nearby, shots can cost less in dollars. Compare a written all-in quote, not the pet-plan starting price. The deciding factor is finishing the course.

Allergy testing
Allergy IgE, celiac and Alpha-Gal tests may be covered by insurance, depending on your plan. IgG food sensitivity testing is not covered by insurance; the laboratory bills the patient directly. Verify coverage and the laboratory estimate before ordering.
Consultations, insurance side
Your video-visit copay is determined during the onboarding call. It is normally equal to a specialist copay, typically $35, and can be lower or higher depending on your plan.
Contract
Monthly plans are month-to-month. Allergy treatments ship in 3-month supplies; if you cancel, remaining payments for treatment already shipped are collected. Annual-plan cancellation and refund terms are confirmed at enrollment.

Allergy shots β€” in-clinic

Without insurance

Curex β€” at-home drops
Select the applicable self-pay plan at /learn/curex-pricing; testing and consultation quote required.
Allergy shots β€” in-clinic
$1,000–$4,000 per year; the build-up year is highest at $1,500–$3,000

How allergy drops are regulated

Personalized allergy drops are compounded for each individual patient. Such formulations are not reviewed by the FDA. However, they remain common practice for allergists and ENT allergists because they provide a convenient alternative to allergy shots. Allergy drops are the standard of care in many EU countries.

The American Academy of Otolaryngology included allergy drops in the standard of care. The FDA has approved four sublingual tablets for single allergens; allergy drops are compounded, target multiple allergies at once, and remain off-label.

Has the FDA written to Curex about allergy drops? Once, in 2021: an untitled letter about how the drops were marketed. Curex changed its website, responded in April 2021, and has had no FDA correspondence about allergy drops since.

Does the 2025 FDA warning letter concern allergy drops? No. The September 2025 warning letter concerned marketing language for compounded GLP-1 weight-loss products; Curex made the requested changes.

Every letter and response: Curex and the FDA. The short version: Is Curex legit?

Who Curex is worth it for

Worth it for you if…

  • You are uninsured or have a high deductible, so shot copays are not softened by coverage.
  • You are far from an allergist, or cannot reliably make weekly daytime appointments.
  • You are medicating most days of the year and want to treat the cause, not the symptoms.
  • You are confident you can keep a daily habit going for several years.

Start elsewhere if…
