Nutin 100 mg Tablet

Nutin 100 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 100 mg of atenolol in each tablet. Atenolol is a beta blocker used to help manage high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and certain fast or irregular heart rhythms. Nutin 100 mg Tablet is also used after a heart attack in some patients, when a doctor decides it is appropriate.

How it works: Atenolol works by blocking beta-1 receptors in the heart, which slows the heart rate and lowers the force of each heartbeat. In tablet form, Nutin 100 mg Tablet is swallowed and then absorbed into the body to help reduce blood pressure and the heart’s workload over time.

Nutin 100 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is usually chosen for people who need more beta-blocking effect than lower-dose tablets can provide. Because each tablet contains 100 mg of atenolol, it may lower heart rate and blood pressure more noticeably, so a doctor may select it only after assessing your condition and response to treatment. Since there are no other Nutin strengths or forms listed here, this product represents a full-strength tablet option within this brand.

Each Nutin 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of atenolol per tablet. The number of tablets you take and how often you take them depends on your condition, your heart rate, your blood pressure, and how you respond to treatment; a doctor decides the schedule. In many patients, atenolol is taken once daily, but the maximum daily amount must be individualized and should only be set by your prescriber for this 100 mg strength.

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