Abstract
Magnesium (Mg2+) has antagonistic properties to calcium (Ca2+) and has been termed the physiologic Ca2+ blocker. Synthetic Ca2+ channel blockers are extensively used as anti-hypertensive agents. It is hypothesised that when administered in combination synthetic Ca2+ channel blockers and Mg are synergistic in the treatment of hypertension.Entities:
