Cystitis & Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Due to the rise in antibiotic resistance in the UK, our clinical team have taken the decision to no longer offer antibiotics to patients from our online platform for certain conditions.
It is important that clinicians and patients across the UK take collective responsibility to only use antibiotics when necessary, to protect ourselves and future generations. Local initiatives are in place related to Antimicrobial Stewardship across the UK, and you can still get access to antibiotics from your local GP who will ensure that access to antibiotics is on a risk assessment basis. For some non-antibiotic alternatives, please check out the medications below.
Cystitis is a common, but unpleasant UTI (urinary tract infection) that causes pain when you urinate. You may also feel the urgent need to pee more often than normal. Common symptoms of cystitis include pain or a burning sensation when peeing, urine that’s dark, cloudy or smells strong, and needing to pee more frequently.
