Online Pharmacy

thank you everyone for your advice.

I had cystitis twice during the first lockdown and both occasions was given antibiotics after a telephone consultation with my gp. I assume because I have had cystitis before they were happy to prescribe based on what I told them rather than ask for a sample.

Nikita, drink as much water as you can. I can understand Nikita’s need for a quick fix. But please, if the symptoms continue, go and see your GP. When I had symptoms, I rang the Surgery, they booked me in with a Nurse. I took a sample with me. She tested it there and then, and although no identifiable bacteria was found, she gave me a course of Trimethoprim.
Another thing, you say you tend to get cystitis often. I know someone who suffers regularly from it. Just flushing your ‘system’ out is the answer. Btw, I have no medical qualifications.

Hope you get an appointment, understand why your going with online pharmacy I wouldn’t hesitate for something like this.

Well you seem to know what you want Nikita so I m surprised you asked for advice I ve had too many bouts of cystitis to count but I would always see a doctor and give a sample
Anyway good luck hope you manage it all

I'd say your GP would be the first port of call. A session of Trimethoprim will clear it up in a few days. It's usual to produce a sample first of course. Give them a ring ( GP )

Nikita80 you can’t reliably or safely diagnose cystitis by an online questionnaire. An antibiotic should only be prescribed after a urine test has confirmed the presence of bacteria. Even then if the bacterial content is low level, doctors are reluctant to prescribe antibiotics as they can be unhelpful and cause long term problems by causing your body to become resistant to future antibiotic treatment. Sometimes the advice to increase your fluid intake and flush it out is the preferred treatment.

I hope you feel better soon.

I think you will need to take a urine sample to your GP, and soon, in case the infection goes into your kidneys.

I used Chemist Direct a few years ago. Their pharmacist rang me with various questions.

Hope you get it sorted soon.

To be honest I know my body and its symptoms. I tend to get the same sort symptoms.

But when I visited the family chemist (online pharmacy), they asked me all the medical questions and I just had a consultation on the phone. but before I proceed I thought I ask. think I will go with them. got good reviews and next day delivery. Its discreet so even better. Let me know for future if you suggest anyone please

I only use an online pharmacy for prescriptions.
Far better to discuss symptoms with a doctor or pharmacist.

You need to see your GP.
GP needs to test for infection. If left for too long, your kidneys are at risk.
As BlueBelle said you may not have cystitis, it could be something else.

(I do not have any medical knowledge or qualifications)

Gosh I ve never used one I would go and speak to my pharmacist or doctor You need a sample testing as symptoms like cystitis can be other things I would never chance an online checkup without my GP or local pharmacist
Cymalon can help in the very early stages and drinking bicaronatebif soda helps neutralise it but if you ve had it more than a day or two get proper help
