Good morning, ma'am,
The pharmacist can prescribe antibiotics for a urinary tract infection, but only if
- You have received a prescription for a urinary tract infection within the last 12 months;
- You do not have a fever;
- You are not pregnant;
- Your current symptoms are similar to the symptoms of your previous UTI
If you "fit" these criteria, stop by the pharmacy!
