Abstract
Magnesium (Mg<sup>2+</sup>) has antagonistic properties to calcium (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) and has been termed the physiologic Ca<sup>2+</sup> blocker. Synthetic Ca<sup>2+</sup> channel blockers are extensively used as anti-hypertensive agents. It is hypothesised that when administered in combination synthetic Ca<sup>2+</sup> channel blockers and Mg are synergistic in the treatment of hypertension.
