If the pharmacists suggestions don't work call the doc's office again. He's got to have someone covering for him. This should be an easy one for whoever is covering... depending on the reaction he may say to stop taking it, that it is ok to wait for your doc, or switch to something else. All's he's got to do is make sure you are safe and comfortable until your doc is back to take over, that's what the covering doc is there for.

One of the main reasons to be in the hospital is so they can stabilize you on a med before releasing you. As long as you stay in touch with the doc. You can decide how "bad" the reaction is and how urgent it is to call, but don't be reluctant to call if you need to. Stay in touch with them and you won't be missing on that aspect of the hospital care. It was good to call the pharmacy too... they are qualified for that kind of question, hopefully one of their suggestions will work. If it was something serious they would have told you to contact the doctor, so there isn't too much reason for worry I think, other than your personal comfort.
