Atenolol is a selective β1 receptor antagonist, a drug belonging to the group of beta blockers. Introduced in 1976, atenolol was developed as a replacement for propranolol in the treatment of hypertension. Unlike propranolol, atenolol does not pass through the blood–brain barrier thus avoiding various central nervous system side effects.
Atenolol is one of the most widely used β-blockers in the United Kingdom and was once the first-line treatment for hypertension. The role for β-blockers in hypertension was downgraded in June 2006 in the United Kingdom to fourth-line, as they perform less appropriately or effectively than newer drugs, particularly in the elderly. Some evidence suggests that even in normal doses the most frequently used β-blockers carry an unacceptable risk of provoking type 2 diabetes.

magnesium supplements can affect the absorption of different medications, including beta blockers such as atenolol. This effect occurs even if the magnesium supplement is taken four hours before or after the atenolol.
For best results, take magnesium supplements and atenolol at least two hours apart.
