Urinary tract infections (also called UTIs) are infections of the bladder. This can cause burning or pain when you urinate, urinating more often than normal, or needing to urinate in a hurry. If left untreated, a UTI can lead to a more complicated kidney infection or blood infection.

If you are female and not pregnant, your pharmacist may be able to prescribe an antibiotic to treat your urinary tract infection (UTI). However, if you are pregnant, it's important to visit your doctor so they can test the bacteria in your urine.

If you are male, please see your doctor. Pharmacists cannot prescribe antibiotics for UTIs in males, as they require closer follow-up and monitoring from a doctor.
