Lanoc (Metoprolol Tartrate)

Metoprolol tartrate, the active ingredient in Lanoc, is a beta‑adrenergic blocking agent presented as an oral tablet for oral administration. It reduces heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output, thereby lowering blood pressure, decreasing myocardial oxygen demand, and stabilising cardiac rhythm in adult patients with hypertension, angina, heart failure, or arrhythmias.

GNH India supplies Lanoc as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides regulatory documentation for global distribution.

Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Metoprolol tartrate is used to manage several cardiovascular conditions by modulating heart rate and blood pressure.
  • Hypertension: controls high blood pressure by reducing cardiac output.
  • Angina pectoris: relieves chest pain by decreasing myocardial oxygen demand.
  • Myocardial infarction: improves survival after heart attack by limiting cardiac workload.
  • Heart failure: supports ventricular function by lowering heart rate and afterload.
  • Cardiac arrhythmias: stabilises abnormal heart rhythms by blocking β1 receptors.

How It Works

  • Metoprolol tartrate selectively antagonises β1‑adrenergic receptors in cardiac tissue, inhibiting the effects of endogenous catecholamines. This blockade reduces sinus node activity, slows atrioventricular conduction, and diminishes myocardial contractility, leading to lower heart rate, decreased cardiac output, and reduced systemic vascular resistance, which together lower arterial pressure and myocardial oxygen consumption.

Side Effects

Metoprolol tartrate may cause a range of adverse reactions, which are classified by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Cold extremities
  • Bradycardia
  • Gastrointestinal discomfort

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe bradycardia
  • Heart block
  • Hypotension
  • Bronchospasm
  • Depression or mood changes

Precautions & Warnings

  • Metoprolol tartrate requires careful assessment and monitoring to minimise risks.
  • Assess cardiovascular status: evaluate heart rate and blood pressure before initiating therapy.
  • Monitor for bronchospasm: use cautiously in patients with asthma or COPD.
  • Review renal and hepatic function: dose adjustments may be needed in impairment.
  • Avoid abrupt discontinuation: taper gradually to prevent rebound tachycardia.
  • Caution with diabetes: may mask hypoglycaemia symptoms.
  • Store below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Metoprolol tartrate can interact with several drug classes, necessitating vigilance.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concomitant use with non‑selective beta‑blockers: may cause excessive bradycardia.
  • Combined with calcium channel blockers (verapamil, diltiazem): risk of severe heart block.
  • Interaction with clonidine withdrawal: may precipitate hypertensive crisis.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Antihypertensive agents (ACE inhibitors, diuretics): monitor blood pressure.
  • Antidiabetic drugs (insulin, sulfonylureas): watch for concealed hypoglycaemia.
  • CYP2D6 inhibitors (paroxetine, fluoxetine): may increase metoprolol levels.
  • NSAIDs: may reduce antihypertensive effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lanoc contains metoprolol tartrate, a beta‑blocker indicated for hypertension, angina pectoris, post‑myocardial infarction care, chronic heart failure, and certain cardiac arrhythmias. It works by lowering heart rate and reducing cardiac workload, helping to control blood pressure and relieve chest pain.

Metoprolol tartrate selectively blocks β1‑adrenergic receptors in the heart, decreasing the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline. This leads to reduced heart rate, lower myocardial contractility, and diminished cardiac output, which together lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's oxygen demand.

The appropriate dose of Lanoc is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s medical condition, response to therapy, and other individual factors. Dosage may be adjusted over time, and patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions without self‑adjusting the amount.

Safety of metoprolol tartrate during pregnancy or lactation has not been definitively established. Healthcare providers weigh potential benefits against possible risks before prescribing. Patients who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss their situation with a qualified medical professional.

To request Lanoc, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifying trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details, and necessary import documentation.

Lanoc (metoprolol tartrate) is a cardio‑selective β1‑blocker, offering targeted heart effects with fewer respiratory side effects compared with non‑selective agents like propranolol. Its pharmacokinetic profile allows once‑ or twice‑daily dosing, making it a common choice for hypertension, angina, and heart failure management.

Lanoc should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing in humid or excessively hot environments to maintain its stability.

Lanoc is taken orally, usually with or without food, as directed by the prescriber. Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Patients should not crush or chew the tablets unless specifically instructed by a healthcare professional.

Serious adverse events can include severe bradycardia, heart block, marked hypotension, bronchospasm in susceptible individuals, and depression or mood changes. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience fainting, extreme fatigue, difficulty breathing, or any sudden worsening of symptoms.

Lanoc is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to metoprolol or any component of the formulation, those with severe sinus bradycardia, second‑ or third‑degree atrioventricular block without a pacemaker, and individuals with uncompensated heart failure or cardiogenic shock.
