Brief Answer:
No there isn't.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I am sorry to disappoint you, but, methylprednisolone is a very potent immuno-suppressant steroid and these class of medicines and those that act similarly can never be made available without a prescription due to obvious reasons of higher chances of adverse events.

Please do get back to me if you need any more clarification.
Wishing you good health.
