Can I take Atenolol and Co-amoxalav together?

Why this happens

Atenolol is a beta-blocker used for heart conditions and blood pressure, while co-amoxiclav is a combination antibiotic (amoxicillin and clavulanic acid). They are processed by the body through different pathways and do not interfere with how the other works.

What you should do

You can take both medications as prescribed. However, if you have an infection (the reason for taking the antibiotic), your heart rate or blood pressure might naturally change. If you feel unusually dizzy or unwell, consult your doctor. Always complete the full course of antibiotics.
