Responsible prescribing
Plunge Care providers follow responsible prescribing practices. If your symptoms suggest something that needs an in-person exam or testing, your provider will tell you rather than prescribe unnecessarily.

Antibiotics for patients in Arizona
Not every infection needs an in-person visit. Patients in Arizona describe what is going on in a secure request, and a clinician licensed in Arizona decides whether an antibiotic is the right treatment or whether you need to be seen in person.
Every clinician who reviews a Arizona request holds an active license issued by the Arizona Medical Board or the Arizona State Board of Nursing, and your request is only routed to a clinician licensed in Arizona.
If a prescription is appropriate, it is sent electronically to the Arizona pharmacy you choose, whether that is a chain, a supermarket pharmacy or an independent near you. Medication is billed by the pharmacy, not by Plunge Care.
Care is available today in Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Maryland and New York. Your request is only routed to a clinician licensed in the state you are in.
When antibiotics may be appropriate
Antibiotics treat bacterial infections and are not effective against viruses like the common cold or flu. Your provider will review your symptoms and history to decide whether an antibiotic is appropriate — and will not prescribe one if it isn't indicated.

Overview
Antibiotics are medications used to treat bacterial infections. Our providers can evaluate your symptoms and prescribe the appropriate antibiotic when medically indicated.
When Are Antibiotics Needed?
Antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections such as strep throat, UTIs, sinus infections, skin infections, and certain respiratory infections. They are not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu.
Common Antibiotics
Commonly prescribed antibiotics include amoxicillin, azithromycin (Z-Pak), doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, and metronidazole. Your provider will choose the most appropriate antibiotic based on your condition.
Important Information
Always complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed. Stopping early can lead to antibiotic resistance and recurrence of infection.
