Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Lower urinary tract symptoms also known as LUTS are common in women of all ages, especially between the ages of 40 to 60. For most women, the symptoms come and go, but they can be ongoing and interfere with normal life. At Puri Pharmacy, our pharmacists are experts in diagnosing and treating Urinary Tract Infections.

Signs and Symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are very common among women. They are normally caused by a bacterial infection in the bladder. A UTI can cause:

  • Lower stomach pain
  • A soreness or burning sensation when you pass urine.
  • A feeling you need to pass urine more often.
  • A feeling that you need to pass urine urgently.
  • The urine may look cloudy or have blood in it.

Think Pharmacy First

Pharmacy First allows patients to access FREE advice and treatment for uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection in women aged between 16 and 64 at Puri Pharmacy in Southall and Hillingdon. You do not need a Doctors appointment and you can simply walk into either of our branches.

At a consultation with our expert pharmacist, we will discuss your symptoms and medical history and may ask for a urine sample to be brought to the pharmacy. If you have symptoms that require antibiotics, we can provide you Nitrofurantoin for 3 days. In most cases, UTIs last 5 to 7 days and typically do not require antibiotics.

Health Advice Consultation

When to see your GP?

While we can help with some UTI’s there are some instance where you will still need to see your doctor.

We will refer you to your GP if you are:

  • Pregnant
  • Have a urinary catheter
  • Have recurrent UTI (2 episodes in last 6 months, or 3 episodes in last 12 months)

What our customers say about our services

Amazing service from Rahul. Have used the earwax removal service for over a year and he’s always detailed and professional throughout, making it a calm and relaxed process. My family members always use the earwax removal clinic too. I would highly recommend the service for anyone suffering with earwax buildup – please do get your ears checked regularly for crystal clear hearing 🙂

I was really pleased with the customer service and professionalism carried out by Rahul, he really is a gem.
I had my jab done at this pharmacy, and was happy that I actually had no pain at the time of the jab or afterwards. I would definitely recommend using this pharmacy as the staff are fast, efficient and polite especially Rahul. Thank you Rahul 🙏

Ferhah Ali

Great service and extremely professional staff. Me and my husband just got our vaccines and the whole process was really smooth and stress free. They have thoroughly explained the procedure and the team was absolutely friendly. Keep doing the great work and would highly recommend this place to other people 🙂

Gabriela Apostu

We’re very lucky having a pharmacy locally, with such helpful staff. Being able to telephone or just pop in to request my dad’s prescription means no GP telephone queues do a win/win all round.

Michelle Patis

I regularly visit Puri Pharmacy for my kids prescriptions and thanks to the staff who are very helpful. I never had to wait for long. I recommended others to use this pharmacy for the excellent service. Once they queried my GP about my son’s prescription and got it changed due to previous allergic reaction.

Shahnaz Fatima Syeda

I came into the pharmacy today as I realised this morning that I had run out of my medication and Haven advised me that my prescription had just arrived and sorted it out for me there and then. 5* service from an always happy, helpful member of the team. What more can I ask for?
