Is propranolol available as generic in most countries?

Generally yes. Propranolol (usually as propranolol hydrochloride) is off-patent and has widely available generic versions in many countries, including the US, EU, Canada, Australia, and many others.

That said, there can be country-specific differences:
- Some markets may still rely mainly on branded products due to local procurement or registration; others have many generic manufacturers.
- Availability can vary by dosage form (immediate-release vs extended-release) and by specific strengths.
- Supply issues or regulatory delays can temporarily limit options in some places.

If you tell me the country (and the dosage form you need), I can give a more specific check of typical generic availability. In the meantime, a local pharmacist or the national medicines regulator can confirm what generics are registered and available in your area. And since propranolol is on the WHO Essential Medicines List, it’s generally expected to have generics in most settings.
