Can you explain to me why a pharmacist would not be able to refill a prescription for a post-menopausal person? This is what I was told when I asked for a refill of my antibiotic prescription for a UTI.

Good morning, Madam,

Bill 41 does allow a pharmacist to renew some of your medications under very specific conditions. In the case of urinary tract infections, menopause is a factor that excludes a pharmacist from carrying out a renewal. The logic behind this restriction is that, in menopausal women, the symptoms of infection can sometimes be confused with other medical conditions.

Do not hesitate to write me again if you have any questions.

Alexandre

It's a pleasure!
