Can Pharmacists Prescribe Antibiotics in the UK?

In most cases, pharmacists cannot prescribe antibiotics without a valid reason. However, under certain NHS services, including Pharmacy First, our trained pharmacists can assess and supply antibiotics for specific minor infections (e.g., sore throats, UTIs, or impetigo) if they meet NHS criteria.

If you’re wondering how to obtain antibiotics in the UK or where to purchase them from a pharmacy, our team will assess your symptoms and provide you with advice accordingly.

For most long-term antibiotics, a valid prescription is required.

Can You Get Antibiotics Over the Counter?

In the UK, you cannot buy antibiotics over the counter.

They can only be provided after a clinical assessment to ensure safety and prevent antibiotic resistance.


If you’re unsure how to get antibiotics quickly, your local Imaan pharmacist can guide you through the correct NHS channels.
