mane stands for Mane (in the morning), a prescription abbreviation.
Latin instruction meaning "in the morning", used mainly on British, Irish and Australian prescriptions for once-daily doses best taken early, such as diuretics, steroids and stimulants.
Example: Prednisolone 40 mg mane for 5 days with food.
Usage notes
Pronounced "MAH-nay". Sometimes written "om" (omni mane, every morning). It is a full Latin word rather than a truncation, so it carries no period. US prescribers typically use qAM or "every morning" instead.
