Noosa pharmacy advances women’s health with new service

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Queensland, announced that LiveLife Pharmacy Noosaville can now provide Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Services as part of a historic Queensland pilot.

Managing Pharmacist, Mrs Amanda Gravolin, said that she was proud to play such a vital role in supporting women in need of urgent treatment for urinary tract infections.

“With one in two Australian women experiencing a urinary tract infection in their lifetime, we’re pleased to be able to provide women in the Noosa area with effective advice and treatment for uncomplicated UTIs, which may include antibiotics,” Mrs Gravolin said.

“Our pharmacists are all trained to provide the service to non-pregnant women aged 18-65.

“No appointment is needed to access the service, so please come in anytime to chat to our pharmacy staff at your convenience.”

The Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Queensland said that community pharmacies are an accessible primary healthcare destination.

As most community pharmacies are located within 2.5km of Queenslanders, women experiencing a urinary tract infection can be seen and treated immediately to avoid further complications that could result in hospitalisation.
