Brief Answer:
Do as directed. If prescribed new one, stop old ones. One at a time
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Please correct me if i am wrong as it appears you want to ask whether you can use the old prescription after the doctor has changed and replaced it with the new ones.
If so the answer to that is a humble no as the new and old ones might interact with each other and result in adverse effects. So i would say stick to the new prescription as advised by the doctor and take it in the doses recommended by doctor and hope for the best.
if you believe the old ones were better in effect you can discuss it with your doctor and request them to shift your meds back to old ones for better effect. But whatever you do involve your doctor in it for the safety and better management outcomes.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
The drug takes a few days to be out of the system. Till Wednesday it will be 3 to 4 days. Test may come positive but with a prescribed medication in urine it is nothing to worry about. Show then the prescription and you won't have a problem.
I hope it helps.
