If you have painful, urgent, or frequent urination, you may have a urinary tract infection (UTI). In Ontario, pharmacists are authorized to prescribe antibiotics for uncomplicated UTIs in women aged 16–65 without a doctor's visit. At Peel Best Pharmacy in Mississauga, our pharmacist will assess your symptoms in a private consultation, rule out complicating factors, and prescribe the appropriate antibiotic on the spot — typically within 30 minutes. You do not need to wait days for a doctor's appointment or hours at a walk-in clinic. For men, pregnant patients, recurrent infections, or symptoms of a kidney infection (fever, back pain, chills), please contact our onsite family doctors at TDL MD Clinic (905-712-3998) or Saldanha Health Centre (905-890-8183).
