how we help with Urinary Tract Infections

Bladder infections (UTIs) are common, especially in women. Symptoms include pain or burning when peeing, needing to go more often, or feeling pressure in the lower abdomen. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria entering the bladder through the urethra — this can happen after sex, due to irritation from soaps or sprays, or from structural issues in the urinary tract. Our pharmacists can provide antibiotic treatment without a prescription for women aged 16–65, provided there are no complicating factors and you’re not pregnant. Most infections clear within a few days, but you should see your doctor if symptoms persist, return, or are accompanied by fever or back pain. We also stock Ural Effervescent Powder, which helps neutralise urine acidity and relieve burning and discomfort while the infection clears. No appointment is needed — just speak to one of our pharmacists for confidential advice and effective treatment.
