Kann ich Atenolol und Rybelsus (Semaglutid) zusammen einnehmen?

Warum das passiert

Rybelsus lowers blood sugar. While atenolol is for blood pressure, it can also lower blood sugar or make it harder for your body to recover from a 'sugar crash'. Crucially, atenolol blocks the 'fight or flight' response (adrenaline) that usually causes your heart to race when your sugar is low, meaning you might not realise you are in danger until the symptoms are severe.

You can take these together, but you must be extra vigilant. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly as directed by your doctor. Learn to recognise other signs of low blood sugar that atenolol doesn't hide, such as sweating, dizziness, hunger, or confusion. If you feel unwell, treat the low sugar immediately and inform your GP.

Asthma oder COPD

Atenolol can cause severe breathing difficulties or trigger a life-threatening asthma attack by narrowing your airways. Do not take this medicine if you have a history of asthma or wheezing.

History of pancreatitis or severe stomach pain

Rybelsus can cause inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Seek immediate medical help if you experience severe, persistent stomach pain that may radiate to your back.

Diabetes

Atenolol can mask the warning signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia), such as a fast heartbeat or tremors. You must monitor your blood sugar more closely as you may not feel the usual symptoms of a 'hypo'.

Food, beverages, and other oral medicines

Rybelsus must be taken on an empty stomach with no more than half a glass (120ml) of plain water. You must wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking anything else, or taking other oral medicines. If you do not wait, the medicine will not be absorbed properly and will not work.

Alkohol

Alcohol can affect blood sugar levels and may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) when taking Rybelsus. For Atenolol, alcohol can enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effect, which may make you feel dizzy or lightheaded.
