FAQ

What is an uncomplicated UTI?

An uncomplicated UTI is a bladder infection in an individual who is not pregnant and does not have any health issues like kidney problems or catheters. If you have experienced UTIs in the past and have experienced the symptoms attributed to UTIs, then it is most likely uncomplicated. Prior to a pharmacist recommending treatment, they will conduct a clinical assessment.

Why do I need to see a pharmacist and not a GP?

Painful and inconvenient UTI symptoms can be mitigated through a visit to your local pharmacy. If you go to the pharmacy, you can have a clinical assessment and then walk away with a prescription to help you feel better. This is much better than waiting to see a GP and prolonging your infection.

What happens during a pharmacy consultation?

The consultation is the most simple and straightforward part of the entire process. Our pharmacist will ask you questions and you will have to provide input on things like your symptoms, your medical history, and any allergies you have. This is done to determine whether or not the treatment is safe and effective for you. This consultation takes place in a private room where your information, including your identity, will be kept confidential.

What happens if the treatment is ineffective?

You will need to contact us or your GP if you do not see improvement in your symptoms within the first 1-2 days of treatment, or if you develop a fever, back pain, or nausea. If you have any of these symptoms, it could mean the infection is no longer towards the bladder and is now more advanced. In these cases, more advanced medical treatment may be necessary.
