Can a pharmacist prescribe antibiotics for a urinary tract infection?

Yes, a pharmacist can prescribe antibiotics for a urinary tract infection in women under certain conditions. These conditions include having received a prescription for a UTI in the past year, experiencing similar symptoms to a previous UTI, and not having had more than 3 UTIs in the past year or presenting with severe symptoms. It is important to consult a doctor for men as UTIs in men usually require stronger antibiotics.
