Okay, now that I've secured a supply for myself for the time being, I'll reveal what I found yesterday.
The GIANT FOOD grocery store on Shady Grove Rd in Rockville, MD had 3 50-count bottles of Mint Pepcid Complete® yesterday. I ended up buying 2, leaving 1 for someone else. But if I felt I could have afforded 3 at $20 each, I would have bought all 3.
So, bottom line, GIANT FOOD stores in MD are the first places I've seen receive a shipment in MONTHS. If you have one near you, check there first.
Also, there seems to be a change to the product. It used to be that both Pepcid Complete® and all the generic versions were dark pink/light red colored pills, regardless of the flavor. Even the mint flavor was that color. Might explain the complaint I read on one of the blogs, where some customers got a mix of 2 flavors in one bottle. Also, they were large, smooth, disc-shaped pills.
Now, I started buying the generic versions years ago, because they were a good bit less expensive. It's been years since I bought the name brand. So I was quite surprised yesterday to discover that the Mint flavored Pepcid Complete® tablets I bought are now light green, and shaped more like a Breath Savers breath mint, smaller in size and with a "dimple" in the middle. Assuming that the Berry flavor is still dark pink/light red, that should make it much easier to make sure the entire bottle is all one flavor. It might also explain this current situation, as it certainly took a little time to switch over to producing the new style tablets.
Then again, this change could have been made awhile ago and I may have just been unaware of it.
