Hello,
You can continue all your routine drugs. The only drugs you should avoid are antibiotics belonging to Sulfa groups like cotrimoxazole or sulfmethoxazole. You can safely continue atenolol and others, it will not cause any problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
