Picnic Allergy Review: Effective, Personalized Allergy Relief

If you’ve been suffering from allergies but don’t have the time or desire to find an allergist, then Picnic Allergy may be just what you’ve been looking for.

I have been a seasonal allergy sufferer in the springtime for as long as I can remember. As much as I love the spring, I always dread this aspect of the season. While I have tried allergy medications in the past, nothing has worked 100% of the time. So, I’m always on the hunt for something that will finally be consistently effective for my particular allergies.

Once I heard about Picnic, I decided to go ahead and take their quiz. The Picnic Allergy Quiz is the first step in their subscription program to determine what might be the best allergy options. 

The questions on their quiz were fairly easy and pretty basic. They wanted to know things such as:

• Which allergy symptoms I usually experienced
• Which of my symptoms bothered me the most
• My name and email

Once I completed the survey, Picnic suggested an antihistamine pill (Loratadine) and a nasal steroid spray (Fluticasone). However, I was asked in the survey about past allergy medications taken and any adverse side effects. I mentioned that I have used the steroid nasal spray in the past and I didn’t like it. But, they suggested this medication anyway. 

Overall, it only took me about 15 minutes to go through each question, get my medication recommendations and order everything.

I tried the Loratadine first, since this one seemed more promising based on my past allergy medication use. It worked really well for my seasonal allergies and was easy to take.

Even though I was not excited to try the Fluticasone, I went ahead with it anyway. It did seem to help my seasonal allergies. So, overall, Picnic’s claim to help with seasonal allergies held up for me.

The biggest perk, for me, was their customer service and the subscription program. After receiving the medication I received a number of follow-up emails from their customer support team. I really appreciated this and it made me feel like they cared about my allergy relief journey.

And having the medication show up in the mail on time every month is convenient for somebody who doesn’t want to bother with going to the drugstore. Basically, if you don’t know how to get relief from your allergies this is a great way to start. 

Picnic Allergy partners with licensed doctors in all 50 states to help their patients find the best allergy treatments for them. They work via telehealth, so you’ll have to enter your information to see which options are available to you in your state. Due to state telehealth limitations, Picnic only offers prescription medication in 41 states but sells over-the-counter medication all over the US. They also use the same pharmacy chain, Eagle Pharmacy, as they do for Cove. 

This chain has their own internal quality control processes and ensures that 3 different pharmacists see each order. This helps to create a good checks and balances system with regard to medications. However, they do not appear to have any other certifications, which I would prefer to see.

However, the medications Picnic Allergy prescribes aren’t anything out of left field. Their medications are at a lower price point due to the fact that they use generic brands instead of name brands. And, in most cases, these work just as effectively, if not better than their more expensive counterparts.

Their current list of medication offerings are:

• Azelastine Eye Drops – generic Optivar $26
• Azelastine Nasal Spray – generic Astepro $44
• Cetirizine – generic Zyrtec $16
• Desloratadine – generic Clarinex $30
• Diphenhydramine – generic Benadryl Allergy $13
• Fexofenadine – generic Allegra $22
• Fluticasone – generic Flonase $22
• Levocetirizine – generic Xyzal $20
• Loratadine – generic Claritin $16
• Mometasone – generic Nasonex $58
• Montelukast – generic Singulair $20

Picnic Allergy is certainly worth trying just for the excellent customer service alone. The parent company has done a fantastic job of creating superior customer service with all of their companies. And when it comes to healthcare, this is something that has been severely lacking for decades now.

Even if the great customer service didn’t entice you to give them a try, the medication offerings might. This company continually updates their list of medication offerings depending upon the recommendations of the licensed doctors in their network. This helps Picnic stay on top of current studies and findings with regards to what is working best for allergies and what might not be anymore.

Picnic Allergy wants to give all potential customers a discount just for giving them a try. As of 12/13/2021 they offer an initial 33% off of your first order by either clicking on the link at the top of their homepage or signing up for their email list.

Previously, we’ve seen that they’ve had discounts as high as 50% so you have a good chance to get some kind of deal.

Plus, they give regular discounts if you order larger quantities of your allergy medication with them too.

Any allergy sufferer knows that getting long-lasting relief can be easier said than done. So, before you decide whether or not to give Picnic Allergy a try, we wanted to answer some of the most common questions consumers might have prior to purchase.
