Is it necessary to have a prescription from a doctor for antibiotics for a urinary tract infection?

Yes, it is usually necessary to have a prescription from a doctor for antibiotics to treat a urinary infection. If it has been more than 5 years since your last prescription, it would be best to consult a doctor for a reevaluation of your condition. You can try using platforms like Bonjour Santé, Maple Health, or Dialogue to schedule an appointment with a nearby clinic or telemedicine service if you do not have a family doctor.
