UTI treatment for women in Medway

What is this service

Fast and discreet treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections at Chatham Pharmacy. This service is available through the Pharmacy First scheme, allowing you to get antibiotics without visiting your GP.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria enter your urinary system, causing pain, burning, and discomfort when passing urine. Uncomplicated UTIs are common in women and typically affect otherwise healthy individuals without involving the kidneys.

At Chatham Pharmacy in Medway, our trained clinicians can assess your symptoms, confirm a UTI, and provide antibiotic treatment on the same day. This means you avoid waiting for a GP appointment and can start feeling better quickly. The Pharmacy First scheme means this service is completely free to access.

I was worried about waiting weeks for a GP appointment, but Chatham Pharmacy sorted me out the same day. The pharmacist was really helpful and professional.

Book an appointment online or by phone at your convenience. If you prefer to walk in, our team will help you as soon as possible. There is no need to wait weeks for a GP appointment.

During your consultation, our trained clinician will ask about your symptoms, including pain when passing urine, frequency, and urgency. We may ask about your medical history to ensure treatment is safe for you. The consultation is private and confidential.
