Brief Answer:
You could try using the previous prescription

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Metoprolol is a prescription medicine. For the time being you could use your old prescription to procure the medicine but you ultimately need to choose a general physician who could follow you up and also prescribe the requisite medicines. There is no other way out.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Contact healthcare connect

Detailed Answer:
The last prescription that you have used to procure the medicine. If that is not applicable, you have to request to be connected to a different care provider. Seeking emergency care is another way to keep your medication continued.
