Cystitis and urinary tract infection (UTI) are closely intertwined terms, yet they hold distinct differences. Cystitis refers specifically to bladder inflammation caused predominantly by the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterium, leading to symptoms such as urgent and painful urination, cloudy or bloody urine, and lower abdominal discomfort. On the other hand, UTI is a broader concept encompassing infections in various parts of the urinary tract, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. While both conditions share bacterial origins, the term UTI encompasses a wider range of infections, whereas cystitis specifically signifies inflammation confined to the bladder.
Discover how pharmacists in Ontario assess and make decisions for minor ailments regardless of age. While there are no specific age restrictions outlined in the regulations, individual characteristics, including age, are considered when determining the appropriate treatment. At MisterPharmacist™, our experienced pharmacists prioritize patient safety and well-being, triaging cases based on urgency and clinical presentation.
Insect repellents like DEET and icaridin are effective against mosquitos and ticks. Icaridin is odorless, non-greasy, and safe for plastics. Beware of unproven products like Coconut Lime Summer Spray. Garlic and vitamin B don't work as repellents. Apply repellent to exposed skin and clothes, not the face. Children have stronger reactions to bites. Seek emergency care for anaphylactic symptoms and refer for signs of infection. Use cold compresses, pain relievers, antihistamines, or topical corticosteroids for local reactions. Topical corticosteroids can be prescribed by pharmacists. Avoid topical antihistamines.
