Hello Ma'am,

Yes, pharmacists can prescribe an antibiotic for a UTI if your last one was less than 5 years ago and the symptoms currently are similar to the last one.

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
