Can I take Royal Jelly while taking blood pressure meds?

Hi,
Although my blood pressure isn't very high, around 130 to 140 something, my doctor suggested me taking Atenolol. Overall I am healthy and I am 54. Can I take Royal Jelly while I am taking the medicine?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Alan,
You likely can but I am not a pharmacist so it is always best to run it by a pharmacist who knows a bit about natural products. Royal jelly doesn't have a history of interacting poorly with meds so I suspect you'll be ok. Keep in mind that royal jelly may lower your blood pressure a bit so you may have to adjust your meds a bit once you start taking it.
Bee healthy,
Angela
