Skipping prescription medications is not good at all. They will most likely be able to contact either your physician or your local pharmacy back at home and provide you with the medication. they said my dr has to approve it but he isn't in. newmie66 Posted at 5:19 pm on July 10, 2009 I would go to a pharmacy wherever you are.
