Antibiotics via Telehealth — How it works
Antibiotics help only when a bacterial infection is likely. Our clinicians evaluate symptoms, exam findings, and, when needed, testing to decide whether an antibiotic is appropriate. We follow antibiotic‑stewardship principles to reduce resistance and avoid unnecessary side effects.

How does the online evaluation work?
You complete a brief intake and book a telehealth visit. A licensed clinician reviews your case and determines whether this treatment is appropriate. Prescriptions are never guaranteed.
Safety & emergencies
