Comment:
I was prescibed quinine sulfate some 10 years ago. since it was taken off the US market, I have tried Requip and Mirapex to no avail. I now get quinine sulfate from Canada, but my doctor is reluctant to write a new prescription since quinie sulfate may contribute to heart attacks.

support group recommended Tonic Water after my exposure to MSG and auto deodorizer. Man even stopped me on the street 'i can tell by the way you are walking that you have had exposure-toxic' and again recommended tonic/quinine water. Made me feel so good i quickly downed 2 liters. what is suggested dosage? My immune system is in very bad shape due to bad blood transfusion

Comment:
I use quinine for leg cramps at night. When I get a severe leg cramp, I get up and take one tablet with a glass of water and the cramp goes away in a few minutes. I have no adverse side effects. I know 3 other persons who take it for the same problem.

Comment:
this was prescribed for night leg cramps by my physician now I see that it is not to be used for that purpose. It helped. I only took one capsule two nights in a row.
