Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

UTIs are common and can cause symptoms such as pain or burning when passing urine, needing to urinate more often, or lower abdominal discomfort. Through NHS Pharmacy First, participating pharmacies can assess and treat uncomplicated UTIs in women aged 16 to 64, helping provide quicker access to care without a GP appointment. 💙💚

Your local pharmacy is a good place to go if symptoms are mild to moderate and you are otherwise well. Pharmacists can assess your symptoms, offer advice, and where appropriate provide treatment.

If symptoms are severe, do not improve, or include fever, back pain, blood in urine, or if you are pregnant or male, you should seek further medical advice.

Includes: Uncomplicated UTIs in women aged 16–64, mild to moderate symptoms (burning, frequency, discomfort).

Does not include: Men, pregnant women, children under 16, fever, back pain, blood in urine, or severe/unusual symptoms.
