Name brand cold and flu remedies cleaned out at Bethesda Row Giant (Photos)

The only thing rivaling holiday cheer this week is the explosion of colds and viruses hitting our area, and across the world. That has led to a run on name brand remedies at grocery and drug stores nationwide. The shelves were bare of Dayquil, Nyquil and other popular cold and flu medicines at the Bethesda Row Giant on Wednesday. Signs have been posted to alert customers to the shortage. The good news is that there were still some supplies of store brand alternatives.
