📌 Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment for Women (Aged 18–65)

Fast, discreet treatment for UTIs — no GP appointment needed.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are common in women and can cause discomfort and inconvenience. At Redwood Pharmacy, we offer a convenient pharmacist-led service to treat uncomplicated UTIs in women aged 18 to 65 using a safe and effective antibiotic: Nitrofurantoin 100mg.

⚠️ What is a UTI?

A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Burning or stinging when urinating

  • Needing to urinate more often and urgently

  • Lower abdominal pain or pressure

  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

💊 UTI Treatment We Offer

We provide a 3-day course of Nitrofurantoin 100mg modified-release capsules (brand: Macrobid or equivalent):

  • Dose: One capsule twice daily for 3 days

  • Effectiveness: Most women begin to feel relief within 24–48 hours

  • Pickup: Same-day collection from our pharmacy

Our service includes a private consultation to assess your symptoms and ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

✅ Who Can Use This Service?

Women aged 18 to 65 who:

  • Have typical UTI symptoms

  • Are not pregnant

  • Are otherwise healthy with no kidney or liver issues

  • Have not had more than 2 UTIs in the last 6 months

❌ Who This Service Is Not For:

  • Are under 18 or over 65

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Have a history of recurrent or complicated UTIs

  • Have a fever, flank pain, or symptoms of a kidney infection
