Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Consultations

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common infections, especially in females. They are not contagious and usually are not a serious condition. However, if left untreated, could lead to a serious kidney infection which needs urgent medical treatment by a doctor. 

​

At Gawler Pharmacy, our pharmacists are trained to identify and treat uncomplicated UTIs, and can supply a one-off course of antibiotics if certain clinical criteria are met, without needing a prescription from a doctor. This allows for a quick solution and may prevent the infection from progressing further.

​

Signs and symptoms of uncomplicated UTIs may include:

• Prickly, stinging or burning feeling when passing urine

• Strong urge to urinate often and urgently, even if only a few drops

• Bladder still feels full after urination

• Pain/discomfort in the belly

​

Patients will need to meet the following criteria to be eligible for a consultation, all other patients will need to see a doctor:

​

• Aged between 18 - 64 Years Old

• Female

• Not Pregnant
