Guest guest Posted August 28, 2001 Report Share Posted August 28, 2001 I agree. These strips have been very helpful in keeping infections under control for my husband. You can purchase at the pharmacy. I went with a prescription from Dr., but our insurace did not cover. Every time the strips have indicated that he has a problem, we also follow up with Dr. Each time there has been infection that needed to be treated. My husband has very little sensation in genital area, so he never knows whether he has an infection based upon the good old " burning sensation " . The strips have been vey helpful.

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2001 Report Share Posted August 29, 2001 You get UTI strips at the pharmacy, and you do not need a prescription. I cannot believe the nurse has not heard of them. they are readily available. If your pharmacy does not have them, you can ask the to get them. They are also in the MOM's catalogue.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2001 Report Share Posted September 5, 2001 Dear Becky, I got the continence nurse from the local NHS (my GP put me on to her) to give me a whole lot of UTI strips and she taught me how to use them.
