If you experience symptoms that may be caused by Group A Streptococcus (GAS), your doctor may consider prescribing a screening test to confirm that the bacteria is present.
This test will only take a few minutes and will determine if your infection is caused by GAS or if your symptoms are due to another microbe, such as a virus. The nurse or the pharmacist will also be able to answer your questions about this bacteria and your current symptoms.
Finally, depending on the outcome, the pharmacy team will complete the antibiotic prescription given by your doctor.
