Antibiotics FAQs
Yes. A virtual doctor can provide an antibiotic prescription online as long as their telemedicine company is authorized.
If you don’t want to visit a doctor in person, you can choose to talk to a doctor online. Not only would you be able to get a health assessment, but an online doctor will also prescribe medications and send them to your nearby pharmacy for same-day pickup.
Generally, a pharmacist does not prescribe antibiotics. They dispense antibiotics when there is a valid prescription from an authorized healthcare provider.
Visit a doctor as soon as possible if you suspect a wound infection. A wound infection needs proper treatment, and if medically necessary, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics. Our doctors can carefully analyze your symptoms via a video visit and prescribe antibiotics based on the severity and location of the infection.
An online doctor will diagnose your infection as bacterial based on your symptoms, medical history, and the duration of the infection. They can also request lab tests to find the type of bacteria likely involved. Treatment options, including online antibiotics, depend entirely on the diagnosis.
While you can’t get most antibiotics (e.g., Cipro, Zithromax) without a doctor’s prescription, certain topical antibiotics can be obtained over-the-counter (OTC) without seeing a doctor. Key examples include Neosporin and Polysporin for preventing infections in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.
Yes, obtaining an antibiotic prescription online is legal through an authorized telemedicine service. Our physicians are fully licensed in our jurisdictions, complying with all applicable federal, state, and provincial standards.
Yes, if you have a confirmed urinary tract infection (UTI), our doctors can prescribe an appropriate antibiotic to treat it. During your consultation, the doctor will review your symptoms, such as burning during urination. If medically appropriate, they can prescribe an effective antibiotic, such as Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) or Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim.
- Amoxicillin: Eliminated within 8 to 12 hours after the final dose.
- Z-Pak: Can persist in the body for up to 15.5 days due to its extended half-life.
- Flagyl: Remains active for about 40 to 56 hours post-dose.
Yes, telehealth providers can prescribe antibiotics for strep throat. A licensed physician will assess your symptoms via a video visit and prescribe antibiotics such as Penicillin or Amoxicillin. The prescription is then sent electronically to your local pharmacy for pickup.
Antibiotics work by different mechanisms to treat the infection. They generally work by:
- killing bacteria directly,
- inhibiting bacterial growth that leads to an infection, and
- stopping vital processes, e.g., cell wall synthesis or protein production in bacteria
Only the right and well-suited antibiotic works for the specific bacteria. It is important to note that antibiotics should only be taken during the prescribed period.
Take antibiotics according to your doctor’s advice. An online antibiotic prescription contains the complete dosage and refill information. For any questions regarding treatment, always contact your healthcare provider.
Generally, antibiotic medications remain in your system for a few hours to a week, depending on their type, dosage, and your health status. Here’s the clearance time for a few antibiotics:
- Amoxicillin: Eliminated within 8 to 12 hours after the final dose.
- Z-Pak: Can persist in the body for up to 15.5 days due to its extended half-life.
- Flagyl: Remains active for about 40 to 56 hours post-dose.
Yes. A licensed online doctor can provide an online prescription for amoxicillin based on your signs and symptoms. During your video visit, you’ll be required to provide your medical history, current medications, and your preferred local pharmacy.
Some of the most common side effects of antibiotics may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and dizziness. Severe side effects rarely occur, including allergic reactions.
Yes, some individuals might have allergies to antibiotics, particularly penicillin and cephalosporins. Some mild to moderate symptoms of an allergic reaction may include breathing problems and a fast heartbeat.
A doctor might not prescribe antibiotics because they may not be the best option for your symptoms. Many common illnesses are caused by viruses, and antibiotics do not help viral infections. In other cases, the doctor may expect the infection to improve with rest, fluids, and symptom relief, or they may want testing or an exam first to confirm the cause.
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria no longer respond to treatment such as Amoxicillin. It usually results from the misuse or overuse of antibiotics. That’s why it’s advised always to take antibiotics as prescribed.
Antibiotics start working soon after you take the first dose. Many people feel some relief within 1 to 3 days, and often within 48 hours. Keep taking them exactly as prescribed, even if you feel better. This helps fully clear the infection. If you feel worse or you do not improve after 48 hours, contact a doctor for a follow-up. Some infections may need an in-person check.
