"We have used this service several times in the past with everything from the flu, to UTI, to tick bite. I would highly recommend Doctor On Demand."

—Doctor On Demand UTI Patient

"Super nice! super efficient. Excellent experience overall. My own provider went on vacation and did not write me a prescription and I had test results showing I had a UTI. I was so concerned the way I was feeling that it might manifest into a kidney infection. And then I remembered Dr. On Demand and I had a provider within maybe five minutes she ordered my prescription, I went and got it filled, and I am so very grateful. Thank you very much for being there."

"I awakened at 6:45 with a UTI. I downloaded couple of telehealth apps. The first didn’t take insurance so I went to this one. So glad that I did! Dr. Margo Smith was very personable, efficient and thorough. By 8:30 a script was called into the pharmacy. I loved being able to see my provider! The last time I used telehealth it was texting only. As a retired nurse, I wish that Healthcare had always been this easy."

Common questions you may have about UTI's

You can’t get antibiotics for a UTI without a prescription, but you don’t need to visit a clinic in person. With Doctor On Demand, you can talk to a licensed doctor online who can diagnose your UTI and prescribe antibiotics if needed—all from home.

Yes, telehealth providers can prescribe antibiotics for a UTI if appropriate. During a virtual visit, a doctor can assess your symptoms, review your medical history, and prescribe medication if needed. Our doctors and nurse practitioners are available 24/7, usually within 5 minutes or less, so you can get fast, reliable treatment anytime.

UTIs usually occur when bacteria enters the urinary tract through the urethra and begins to spread in the bladder. Some factors that may increase the risk of a UTI include sexual activity, a previous UTI, pregnancy, uncontrolled diabetes, dehydration, infrequent urination, switching your birth control, poor hygiene, age (older adults and young children are more likely to get a UTI), and kidney stones.

For UTI treatment, you can consult with a primary care physician, urologist, or gynecologist. However, you don’t necessarily need to visit a doctor’s office in person. Doctor On Demand offers convenient same-day online consultations for UTI diagnosis and treatment, including prescription antibiotics when appropriate. This telehealth option allows you to speak with a board-certified doctor from the comfort of your home, saving time and avoiding the need to travel while feeling unwell.

Commonly prescribed UTI antibiotics and medications include:

Pyridium (Phenazopyridine) also called Azo OTC
Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid, Macrodantin, Furadantin)
Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Bactrim DS)
Amoxicillin
Fosfomycin (Monurol)
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Cephalexin
Over the counter medications or ointments

Yes, absolutely. While UTIs are more common in females, anyone can develop and get treated for a UTI. Most UTIs can be easily treated with antibiotic medications; however, your doctor can meet with you to determine the best treatment plan.

No. If you’re experiencing frequent UTIs, your doctor may recommend further testing to determine the root cause.

There are many other conditions that are similar to UTI symptoms, such as STIs, urethritis, prostatitis, interstitial cystitis, kidney stones, pregnancy, and diabetes.

Your doctor may suggest urine testing to confirm the diagnosis and ensure you’re receiving the right treatment.

Make sure you stay hydrated, exercise proper hygiene, and maintain good urination habits. Your provider will also review best practices for reducing your risk for getting another UTI.

Not necessarily. Our doctors will meet with you to determine if a lab test is necessary based on your symptoms. However, you may need to visit a lab if you have severe symptoms, you’re pregnant, or if you have other medical problems and are at higher risk for serious infections.

Skip the waiting room. Get fast relief from UTI symptoms with board-certified providers who can prescribe the right medication and help you feel better—fast.
