Did you know that 1 in 2 Australian women will experience a urinary tract infection (UTI) in their lifetime? And 1 in 3 women will have at least one UTI that needs treatment with antibiotics before the age of 24?

If you are experiencing symptoms of a UTI, come and speak to our professionally trained pharmacists today.  We can diagnose and treat (including providing antibiotics, if required) uncomplicated UTI's in store.

Speak to our friendly team to find out more today or take a read below of some more information about Urinary Tract Infections.

What are the most common symptoms of uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections?

• Wanting to urinate more often and urgently, even if only a few drops
• Burning pain of a 'scalding' sensation when urinating
• A feeling the bladder is still full after urinating
• Pain above the pubic bone

The sooner a UTI is diagnosed and treated, the less likely it is to experience further complications that may result in hospitalisation.
