Recently, I found myself battling with a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) that was causing me pain and burning when peeing as well as a high temperature. Despite attempting various at-home remedies, relief seemed out of reach. 

Faced with the daunting prospect of waiting another week for a GP appointment, I turned to a nearby pharmacy for assistance. To my relief, the pharmacist proved to be a beacon of support.  Taking the time to listen to my symptoms attentively, he swiftly recommended a course of treatment. Within an hour of reaching out for help, I was back home with some antibiotics and painkillers! 

This experience was an eye-opener for me. Now I know a pharmacist can provide treatment and such good medical advice, I’ll make sure to use them more often before I make an appointment with my GP.

• Aches and pains 
• Hayfever 
• Sore throat and coughs 
• Colds and flu

• Cystitis
