Caution! Read this before using quinine for leg cramps. - My mother had been taking these and I finally got around to researching it. Please read the links below, including a press release from the FDA, and decide for yourself if the risk outweighs the benefits. http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2006/NEW01521.htmlhttp://www.resource4thepeople.com/defectivedrugs/quinine.html
It really works!!! - I have been troubled by excriciating thigh and leg cramps at night, despite hydration, magnesium, calcium, and quinine water. I saw this on a patient s med list and decided to give it a try. It works wonders!!!Now I can work out, spend hours on my feet, do whatever, and if I get cramps at all, they are so mild, they stretch right out.I have been a believer in homeopathy before, now I swear by it. I will be keeping this in stock at home.
It does help me - Since quinine is no longer available as a prescription drug, I have been using these to relieve my leg cramps. THEY WORK FOR ME.
Combine with ointment for best results - We use a combination of the homeopathic tablets and Hyland s - Leg Cramps Ointment, 2.5 oz cream. I tried the tablets first, and saw improvement, but the combination of the ointment and tablets was much faster acting. My son has suffered from leg cramps on and off for a year or so. We are supporting him with nutrition and homeopathic remedies. He woke up last week in the middle of the night crying with horrible leg cramps. I quickly located the Hyland s Leg Cramp Ointment, and my husband massaged it into my son s cramping legs. On this occasion I actually gave him Arnica Montana 30x 250 Tabs, because I couldn t find the leg cramp tablets. He was back asleep within minutes. Previously, if he had leg cramps he would be up for hours. Now, I always make sure I know where both the ointment and tablets are in case a leg cramp should pop-up.If you are new to homeopathy, it is best if you don t eat or drink anything 15 minutes before or after taking the remedy. The tablets should not be handled, so simply tip the bottle over into the cap.
Leg Cramps/Back Pain and Travel Improved - My Reflexologist/Massage Therapist got me on to this product.I was just going on a long road trip. I don t think I would have made it without the product. I have continued to use Hyland s whenever I feel that low back pain (3x back surgery patient) or leg cramping sensation.I recommend it to many people.
