Hello Sir,
The prescribing of an antibiotic by a pharmacist is framed by a series of rules to avoid prescribing an antibiotic in a situation that may mask a more serious situation.
This is the case for urinary tract infections contracted by men, among others. In fact, these situations are sometimes complicated into more serious infections (e.g. prostatitis) and therefore require a slightly more thorough examination that must be performed by a doctor.
In other words, you would need to see a doctor in order to receive antibiotics in this situation.
Come back to me if you have any further questions.
Tell me about it,
Alexander
