Manoten 100 mg Tablet

Manoten 100 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains atenolol 100 mg in each tablet. Atenolol belongs to the beta-blocker class, which is used to help manage high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and certain heart rhythm problems. It may also be prescribed after a heart attack or for other heart-related conditions when a doctor wants to slow the heart rate and reduce the heart’s workload.

How it works: Atenolol in Manoten 100 mg Tablet blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, which helps slow the heartbeat and lower blood pressure. By making the heart pump with less force and less speed, this tablet can reduce strain on the heart and may lower chest pain episodes.

Manoten 100 mg Tablet is a higher-strength atenolol tablet, so it is generally used only when a prescriber has decided that 100 mg per dose is appropriate. Because there are no other strengths of Manoten in our range, this product is meant for patients whose treatment plan specifically calls for this tablet strength, rather than for dose-finding or gradual adjustment with a different Manoten strength.

Each Manoten 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of atenolol, which is a full-strength tablet and may be more than the starting dose used for some patients. Depending on your condition, your doctor may prescribe it once daily or split the total daily dose into more than one dose, but the exact schedule is individualized. Do not change the dose or maximum daily amount on your own; your prescriber decides what is safe and effective for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
