Leg cramps

Detailed Answer:
good evening..

thank you for writing on health care

Well for leg cramps you should first try vitamin d, calcium and vitamin E supplements... if it doesn't improve then we go for quinine

Usually half the dose suffices.. 150 mg.. but we cN go up to 300 depending on how you tolerate the medicine..

Hope the information was useful
