Hello,
Prolomet (Metoprolol) has many other brands like Metolar-XR, Starpress-XL, Met Xl(extended release formulation for once-daily dosing), Metpure-XL, etc and would be easily available.
However, it is not clear whether it would be available without prescription in USA (regulations vary in states). Usually, the restriction is only on antibiotics and psychotropic drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
