Atenolol and Naproxen: Can You Take Them Together?

Here's what FDA-approved drug labeling shows.

MODERATE

Interaction Found

Taking naproxen (a pain reliever) with atenolol (a heart medication) can decrease how well atenolol works to control your blood pressure and heart rate. This happens because naproxen can interfere with the medication's effectiveness.

What to do: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking naproxen while on atenolol. Do not stop either medication on your own. Your doctor may suggest a different pain reliever or adjust your doses to keep you safe.
