My medicine ran out yesterday"

Can I say "My medicine ran out yesterday" or "I ran out of medicine yesterday" or "The last leaflet of medicine also emptied yesterday"?

The first two are fine. The third is not. You have prescriptions​, at least in BrE, for medicine, but putting that into the third won't fix it.

So what do I need to say "Strip of medicine" for this https://www.google.co.in/search?q=s...LVAhUGRY8KHTDSCkEQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=662#?

"The last strip of medicine also emptied yesterday."

"I finished the last pill in the strip of medicine yesterday."
Medicine strips don't empty themselves. And what is the function of 'also' in your sentence?

It's rarely important to specify that your medication comes in strips. "I ran out of tablets/pills yesterday" is perfectly clear.

 

[andrewg927]

"Leaflet" in AE is the promotion you find at a doctor's office and other places. You could say "my last bottle of medication is empty".

 

[Tdol]

"The last strip of medicine also emptied yesterday."

Forget trying to use the third. Use the ones that work.

Sorry, I don't understand.

Sorry, I don't understand.

In post #1, you gave us three sentences. Piscean is telling you to completely ignore/forget the third one. Use the two sentences that we have told you are OK.
