Can the pharmacist prescribe an antibiotic for the prevention of a urinary tract infection?

Question

Hello, I am known to have urinary tract infections often (I am fragile to that). Because I have to go camping on Sunday. Perfect, thank you very much. I know that in the last 5 years they have given me antibiotics for this. So technically, after a little consultation with the pharmacist he will be able to give me antibios again? Thanks for your time.

Hello ma'am, If you have had these same symptoms and received treatment for them in the past 5 years, I invite you to contact your pharmacist who can conduct a short consultation to evaluate the possibility of prescribing treatment, under certain conditions. Please be aware that this cannot be prescribed as a preventative measure. Cordially, Tom Samaha, pharmacist The purpose of the consultation is to establish whether a treatment can be prescribed. There are several conditions and exclusionary factors that must be identified or ruled out during this consultation. Prescribing is not automatic: if your pharmacist feels he/she cannot prescribe, he/she will refer you to a physician.
