Grapefruit juice: Grapefruit juice interferes with statin metabolism and increases their blood levels, which sometimes can lea to side effects. Atenolol is not a statin and there is no problem mixing the two.d

It is safe: Atenolol is completely safe to take with grapefruit juice so you may mix grapefruit juice with your water while on this drug. You are correct that some medications, including those for blood pressure, cannot be taken with grapefruit juice, and it is always safe to check this information with a healthcare professional before taking the two together.
