I use this (Quinine Sulfate) oral, for leg cramps. I use it only very rarely and I can attest that taking it when a leg cramp is oncoming and worsening, 20 seconds after I take a capsule, leg cramps and symptoms disappear. I am 72 years old. The frequency that I have to take it is less than once every 2 or 3 months.

My father-in-law who was in WWII claims he got a condition the doctors refer to as sandfly fever. And, he at 82, uses quinine every time he has a leg cramp. I tell him drink plain water & not just tonic water as he is suffering from dehydration.

This is the only thing that will get rid of severe cramps (legs, fingers, chest, toes) when I have them. I don't take quinine unless all else fails. It will almost immediately stop my cramps. I probably don't take five pills a month. I take four different cholesterol drugs which I have to take (heart disease with controlled high cholesterol).

I probably don't take five pills a month. I take four different cholesterol drugs which I have to take (heart disease with controlled high cholesterol). Since the FDA took them off the market, I really hoard what I have left. I hate to think about the day when they are all gone. Unless you have experienced these horrific cramps, you can't imagine the pain associated with them. It's AWFUL!!!!!
