Pharmacist’s advice

Do not rely only on a supplement when burning and frequent urination occur, particularly when the symptoms are recurrent. Where possible, provide a urine sample for culture before starting an antibiotic. When an antibiotic has been prescribed, take it at the correct dose and complete the course. Utisept may provide additional botanical support but cannot replace diagnosis, hydration or medication required for a confirmed infection.
