UTI Treatment with a Pharmacist

Home / Pharmacy Services / UTI Treatment

A urinary tract infection (UTI) can make every trip to the bathroom miserable. In Queensland, trained pharmacists can assess and, if suitable, treat uncomplicated bladder infections in women, without a GP visit. At Priceline Pharmacy Pacific Fair in Broadbeach, you can talk to one of our trained pharmacists in our private consultation room.

Call (07) 5592 2099 Hours & directions

Call first: (07) 5592 2099. The service depends on a trained pharmacist being on shift, so please call ahead to check.

Who can use this service?

The Queensland pharmacy UTI service is for women aged 18 to 65 with symptoms of an uncomplicated bladder infection (cystitis), such as:

  • burning or stinging when you pass urine
  • needing to go more often, or urgently
  • discomfort low in your tummy

What happens

  1. Your pharmacist asks about your symptoms, health history and any medicines you take, in private.
  2. If the service is suitable for you, the pharmacist can supply a treatment and explain how to take it.
  3. If it isn't suitable, we'll refer you to a GP. Help Medical is inside our store.

Ask us about the consultation fee when you call. It isn't covered by Medicare.

When you'll need to see a GP instead

Pharmacists can't treat UTIs through this service if you:

  • are pregnant, or might be
  • are under 18 or over 65
  • are male
  • have frequent or recurring UTIs
  • have kidney problems, a urinary catheter or a weakened immune system

Get urgent medical help if you have

  • a fever, chills or shaking
  • pain in your back or side
  • blood in your urine
  • nausea or vomiting

These can be signs the infection has spread to your kidneys. See a GP the same day, or go to an emergency department. In an emergency, call 000.

Simple things that can help

  • Drink plenty of water, especially in Gold Coast heat.
  • Don't hold on when you need to go.
  • Ask our pharmacists about products to ease discomfort while you wait for treatment to work.
