according to this site,the mylan 50/200 shortage is over but that doesn't guarantee you can get it. it could mean that your pharmacy can get it but has a supply of the sun product they want to get rid of or their wholesaler is giving them a better price on the SUN so they're using the MYLAN shortage to use as an excuse to make a few more pennies. i'm going to reorder my mylan 50/200 tomorrow and will let you know if i can get it. this wouldn't be a problem if the FDA required that generic mfg's of extended release pills actually forced the mfg to prove their extended release capabilities matched the brand name but they don't.

i didn't do well on the other indian brand mentioned, have never tried sun products. the ER versions cost around $40 for 90 tablets if you were to buy a refill privately so you have a backup supply
