    Hi. I'd ring the doctors back and explain you're out of tablets. Sometimes the doctor will issue a prescription when you've run out. Then just pick the prescription up from the doctors. Not sure if your doctors will do this as all surgeries are different. I've done this loads of times before when I've run out. When you see your doctor ask for the tablets to be put on repeat just in case it happens again. Good luck x
