Curex is the place to go for all your allergy questions and needs. Led by healthcare entrepreneurs and allergy clinicians, Curex is an integrated, online telemedicine clinic for people who suffer from environmental allergies (e.g., indoor, outdoor or pet), asthma, and eczema.

Curex is the largest online allergy and asthma clinic in the U.S. We started because our clinicians wanted to offer more convenient and affordable allergy and asthma care for everyone. So far we have attracted more than 50,000 customers from every U.S. state. We are proud to have the highest patient satisfaction and loyalty rates in the industry. Our service has been audited and certified by LegitScript.com.

What services do you offer?

Curex provides comprehensive care for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and eczema. This includes customized sublingual immunotherapy, at-home concierge allergy testing, and symptom management. Our goal is to provide accessibility and quality of allergy care in the U.S.

Does Curex accept insurance?

Curex accepts the majority of insurance plans across the United States, including Aetna, Anthem, United, Humana, and others. While it is difficult to estimate out-of-pocket costs prior to a claim being submitted, our team will work with you to make sure your treatment is as affordable as possible. For that purpose, we also cap copays at $500/year. In addition, Curex accepts HSA and FSA.

What conditions do you treat?

We focus on indoor and outdoor allergies caused by environmental or inhalant allergies, like those caused by pollens, weeds, grasses, dust mites, molds, and pets. We also treat allergic asthma and eczema, as these conditions are closely related to allergies.

Can my child use Curex?

Curex serves adults and children as young as 5 years old. Certain tests and treatments may be limited for younger kids. Start by answering the quiz, so that our clinicians can recommend the best testing and treatment options.

Does Curex treat food allergies?

Curex currently treats allergies to tree, weed, grass pollens, pet allergies, dust mites, mold, and cockroach. We do not treat food, metal, venom, or flower allergies.

What is your cancellation policy?

Treatments are shipped in 3-month installments in all plans. Cancellations are accepted prior to the next refill being compounded by the pharmacy (so you can get a partial refund on a prepayment plan). To cancel or pause subscriptions, please email our team at hi@getcurex.com.

How does allergy testing work?

Depending on your location, we send a phlebotomist (medical assistant) to your home or office for a simple blood draw (not a finger prick). This sample is then processed using hospital-grade technology to produce accurate results. In some areas, you may need to go into a local lab for your blood draw. We work with LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics. This is an IgE blood test that results in more accurate results compared to finger prick tests that are available online through some companies. This is not a skin scratch test where an allergist spends 30+ minutes injecting you with small doses of allergens to see if any swelling or reaction occurs.

Is sublingual immunotherapy safe?

Studies have shown a significantly lower risk for anaphylaxis relative to allergy shots, allowing you to take them in the comfort of your own home. If recommended by your Curex-affiliated clinician, or if you prefer, your first dose may be monitored to ensure proper usage. Clinicians will also assist in helping you manage any side effects that you may experience.

UNDERSTAND

Allergy Immunotherapy in a Nutshell

Allergy immunotherapy is a clinician-prescribed treatment that helps build long-term tolerance to allergens that millions of Americans suffer from.

What you need to know about Sublingual Immunotherapy (Allergy Drops)

The most important thing to know is that allergy drops are a commitment and being diligent is key. Allergy drops are administered under the tongue once daily from home.

How long does it take to see results?

Our providers are optimistic that with consistent daily use, you'll notice a benefit by the end of your first year. By that time, if you haven't seen an improvement in symptoms please let your provider know as there is more we can do to help. We recommend that treatment continues for 3-5 years to achieve long-term results.

What will be included in my formula?

Due to extensive cross-reactivity amongst pollens, you may not see every positive response in your formula, but you can rest assured that every major pollinator will be covered.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects occasionally occur when starting immunotherapy. They can include irritation, numbness, or tingling under the tongue which should wear off over time. If these become troublesome, you can always reach out to us for assistance. Life-threatening allergic reactions are extremely rare and reported anywhere from 1 in 100 million doses to 1 in 1 billion doses. We'll prescribe a generic EpiPen (Epinephrine) to have on hand in case of anaphylaxis. You can choose to pick it up as an extra precaution. If it is expensive please let us know.

What is Immunotherapy?

Allergy immunotherapy is the repeated introduction of medical-grade allergens into the system, building the body’s tolerance and decreasing its reactivity to allergens.

The goal is to provide long-term relief & improve the quality of life by treating the source of allergies, not just the symptoms.

Immunotherapy has been around for over 100 years. More convenient forms of this treatment have started gaining popularity recently, making it accessible to many Americans struggling with allergies.

Common Misconceptions

Myth: “Immunotherapy is not any different than allergy meds.”

Fact: Allergy meds are advertised to provide relief for up to 24 hours, but they only mask the symptoms. Allergy immunotherapy on the other hand, treats the source of allergies for long-term relief.
‍
Another key difference is, immunotherapy utilizes clinical-grade allergen extracts unlike common medications which make use of chemical compounds to temporarily mask symptoms.

Myth: Allergy immunotherapy is considered a “homeopathic treatment”.

Fact: Immunotherapy has been studied rigorously with many clinical trials and peer-reviewed research proving its efficacy.

Myth: “It’s okay to suffer from allergies. I don’t really need a treatment THAT much.”

Fact: Allergies, if untreated, can lead to chronic respiratory health issues such as asthma, or skin disorders like eczema.

It’s also been shown that allergies are the #1 reason people miss work or school. Studies have also shown that students who suffer from allergies receive worse grades than their peers.

Treating the source of allergies can not only improve the quality of life, but help your professional and academic performance.

Is immunotherapy safe?

Allergy immunotherapy is very safe, with mild side effects including redness, itching and swelling.

Severe reactions are extremely rare. Most common form of allergy immunotherapy in the United States is allergy shots, which are administered in person.

Curex clinicians prescribe a different form of immunotherapy called “sublingual immunotherapy” (SLIT), which is applied under the tongue instead of injections. This form is shown to be even safer, and people with more severe allergies are usually pointed in this direction.

What Allergies Can Immunotherapy Treat?

Immunotherapy is a custom treatment formulated based on your allergy profile, along with allergens you are exposed to where you live.

This approach allows immunotherapy to treat a wide array of allergies. The most common ones we treat are:

Tree Pollen

Grass Pollen

Weed Pollen

Dog Allergies

Cat Allergies

Mold

Dust Mites

Cockroaches

We do not prescribe immunotherapy for food allergies or food insensitivity.

Who is immunotherapy for? Am I a good fit?

A common misconception is that immunotherapy is only for people who experience very severe allergies.

While this treatment is very effective for people suffering from severe reactions, anyone with seasonal, indoor or pet allergies can experience a significant improvement in quality of life as a result of this treatment, along with a lower chance of developing more serious conditions down the road.

Immunotherapy is safe and effective for both adults and kids 5+.

Timeline of Allergy Immunotherapy

First step for allergy immunotherapy to determine your allergies- either using pre-existing allergy test results or an at-home allergy test through Curex.

Once we have your allergy test results, you will meet with a Curex clinician to customize the treatment based on your needs. Your treatment will be shipped to you quarterly.

Months 1-5

During the first several months the goal is to introduce the allergens to your body. Apply the treatment daily under the tongue.

Months 6-12

Most patients start seeing improvements before the end of their first year. In some cases, people start experiencing significant improvement in their symptoms earlier.
