Hi Leela,
Sorry I didn't see your question. I still take beta-blockers (metoprolol) twice a day, and I take my magnesium and other vitamins along with the betas with no problem. My doc even said it wasn't a problem. The big things to watch out for mixing with meds or vitamins are antacids and fiber---those two things can decrease absorption of other meds, so keep antacids and fiber separate by two hours from other oral meds or supplements. I'd try the SlowMag, or try GNC's magnesium, it is also very good. Take care!
