I think I have a urinary tract infection, but I've never been diagnosed with one. Is my only option to go to the emergency room?

Hello Ma'am,

Be aware that the pharmacist can prescribe an antibiotic for a UTI if you have had a prescription for that type of infection in the last 12 months.

If not, you will need to see a doctor (possibly in the emergency room, yes).

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
