UTI Treatment Online: Get Antibiotics in 30 Minutes, Not 3 Days
That familiar burning sensation starts at 9pm Friday.

Monday's GP appointment feels like a lifetime away.
Here's what most women don't know: you can have antibiotics in your hand within 2 hours, tonight, legally and safely.
Why UTIs Are Perfect for Online Treatment
Uncomplicated UTIs in women have unmistakable symptoms.
The diagnosis is clinical - based on symptoms alone in most cases.
Guidelines support empirical treatment without examination.
Delays increase kidney infection risk.
Physical examination rarely changes management.
The 3-Symptom Rule
If you have 2 of these 3, you likely have a UTI:
Burning/pain when urinating (dysuria)
Frequent urgent need to urinate
Lower abdominal pain
Additional symptoms strengthen diagnosis:
Cloudy or smelly urine
Blood in urine
Lower back pain
Feeling generally unwell

What if antibiotics don't work?
Online services provide follow-up. Different antibiotic prescribed. Urine culture arranged. Referral if needed. Never left struggling.
Is online diagnosis accurate for UTIs?
Studies show 95% accuracy for uncomplicated UTIs based on symptoms alone. Clear guidelines support empirical treatment.
Can I get preventive antibiotics?
Yes, for recurrent UTIs. Post-coital prophylaxis available. Long-term low-dose antibiotics prescribed. Specialist referral arranged if appropriate.
Will my GP know I was treated?
Good practice to inform them. Important for medical records. Prevents duplicate prescribing. Your choice ultimately.
UTI pain doesn't respect office hours.
