Can a pharmacist prescribe a urine test to detect an infection?
19-year-old woman
Hello, I'm 18 years old, I had my second UTI last November 23 (which was treated with antibiotics for 3 days), and already on this December 9 I'm starting to feel a constant urge to pee even if nothing comes out...and a mini rustling in my lower abdomen after I urinate. I don't know if you pharmacists can "re-prescribe" without testing since it's only been 14 days since my last one. My last test was done by a nurse in a pharmacy.

Good morning, Mrs,
Unfortunately it is impossible to prescribe a treatment so soon after the last one. You will have to consult again to assess the situation and, if necessary, not delay the appropriate treatment.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
