I have high blood pressure. I am headed for the DDS today and it will sky rocket (200/100) usually. my dr. says I have severe white coat syndrome . I am on atenolol am. and pm. and She wants me to take 1 Clonidine 2 hrs before I leave. Can I take the atenolol am with the clonidine? Also, are they ace inhibitor or beta blockers?

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query.
Atenolol is beta blocker and this is used for arterial hypertension.
These two medications can be taken together since there is no scientific evidence that some interactions or serious side effects exist. SO if there is medical indication then it can be taken just be sure to take it in recommended dosage. Also, you must be sure that you are not allergic to any ingredient of these drugs. If you start to feel any signs such as breathing difficulties or rash, you should stop medications and see doctor.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
