    Hi Eimmarg,

    I did the same thing over Christmas. I ended up driving all day back home, then back to the family again. I was afraid I would have a flare, and would have to start over from the beginning. It ruined my Christmas, but I got my meds. Can you get a new script where you are? Good Luck.

      call your doctor and have him call in a prescription to pharmacy where you will be.

    I went to the nearest chemist, I was able to have the prescription photographed by someone at home and they sent it to the chemist. Sometimes they give you some but charge you for the lot as long as you can get the prescription to them later.

    Go to a pharmacy and ask for emergency supplies - most countries will do that. Or go to a walk-in centre.

    And now put a dosette box in your bag with at least a few days supply that is always with you - and best to restock those tablets once every 2-3 months to be sure they are in date!
