Question
Hi, I have a prescription of Toprol XL 25mg from United States. Currently, I'm in Nepal. I searched for the same medicine in Nepal but I can't find it. What brand for the same medicine would be available in Nepal? Thanks.

Answer
Hi,
I do not know much about the product manufactured in Nepal, since I am based in India, but I am aware that most of the pharmaceutical products in the country are imported from India. Please search for Met XL of Ajantha Pharma  or Revelol of Ipca . Both these brands are equivalent to Toprol and are available in the required strength.
