Atenolol interacts with other medications commonly used for heart conditions. For example, taking atenolol with digitalis, amiodarone, or disopyramide could cause a dangerous reduction in the patient's heart rate, and this could also occur if atenolol is taken with calcium channel blockers. Using atenolol with indomethacin, a medication designed to treat pain, could reduce the effectiveness of atenolol. MAOI inhibitors and reserpine could increase the effects of atenolol, and patients might be more likely to experience lightheadedness and a slow heart rate. To reduce the risk of potential medication interactions, patients should let their doctor know about all of the medications they take, including over-the-counter medicines, prescription drugs, herbal remedies, and vitamin and mineral supplements.
