Leg Cramps

Eat Bananas or gatorade if you get leg cramps my
Dr. told me that it is because you lack potassium. Good for any kind of muscle cramps

In the 1990s, as part of FDA’s review of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, the Agency
evaluated OTC quinine products sold without applications for leg cramps, reviewing
extensive information from studies and adverse drug events reported to the agency
regarding the safety and efficacy of quinine drugs. Citing numerous safety concerns
associated with use of quinine and concluding that the data were not adequate to establish
that quinine is effective for prevention and/or treatment of nocturnal leg muscle cramps,
the Agency concluded that these products could not continue to be sold OTC for leg
cramps without approved applications
