📌 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
