Answer medical questions to order

Have you read the medical information?

Yes No

Have you been diagnosed with cystitis in the past?

Yes No

Are you aware Pharma Aesthetics supplies 'standby' treatment only for cystitis?

Yes No

If you already have symptoms a postal service will take too long. Women who have cystitis symptoms already should contact their GP, out-of-hours service, a local pharmacy, or telephone NHS 111 or visit NHS 111 online, for advice.

Are you aware Pharma Aesthetics doctors may decline repeat orders made before 6 months?

Yes No

Frequent episodes of cystitis may need investigating by your own GP. If ordering again earlier than 6 months, please message the reason to our doctors from your My Account area after completing your order.

Do you wish to order nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim?

Yes No

Nitrofurantoin is the usual first choice, but does not suit everyone. Trimethoprim not recommended for over 75s. Only one or the other can be ordered on each consultation. The cystitis medical information, and pages about nitrofurantoin and trimethoprim, will help you choose which you require. It is advised to use nitrofurantoin, if you have used trimethoprim in the previous 3 months.

Do any of the following apply?

Yes No
