when i hear about situations like this i think "why didn't you talk to your pharmacist? " for some medications especially plavix we can give you a few pills to hold you over until we can get a new prescription from the doctor or health care provider. i always tell my patients to look at their medications and don't wait to call in when you don't have any pills especially on a friday or a holiday weekend! be proactive and get to know your pharmacist we may be able to help you in ways you didn't know.
i have run out of my prescription for plavix. should i take aspirin today until i can get a new prescription tomorrow?
