is there any quinine in this leg cramp medication?

I asked the same question once and think I got the answer that there was quinine in the medication. I do know that one time I had a bad cramp in my foot and I took two pills and almost immediately the cramping stopped. I was amazed.

the leg cramps PM has a small amount of quinine in it, the regular Leg cramps pill has more and works faster. Both are effective however.

While I cannot speak definitively to the contents of the product, the contra indications state that if you are sensitive to quinine you should not take it.

Yes, there is. They help stop leg cramps within five minutes of taking them.

It does not mention calcium even under "other ingredients." They do have a phone number on the bottle 1-800-576-2878 and may be able to help you further. I'm not a doctor, so you may want to check with one, but I was getting leg cramps at night and starting taking this in the evening and the cramps stoppped. Good Luck. Lisa

If you're looking for a good source of potassium try pure coconut water. I drink a pint 650mg at night and 650mg in the morning. I get leg and hand cramps and it really helps me.potassium not listed on box of soursop juice. It does contain 100 percent vitamin C

I take it anytime I have acid reflux and it really works. They also have a product called Stops Leg Cramps which tastes about the same and works great also

The label indicates the homeopathic term for Quinine as Cinchona Officinalis; 3 x is listed, which indicates a 1.5 c dilution. I am not homeopathically trained to interpret this label info. My own Osteopathic physician told me that I could take these every night and not just when cramps were happening, therefore deeming the quinine content to be minimal. Never the less, I am 62 and do not need to heed any precautions regarding intake in case of planned pregnancy. Sorry I couldn't give more info.

Yes, but for me, not as well as it does for calf & foot cramps. When I get thigh cramps, they are very hard and I need something stronger than Hyland's, like Crampex.

Not shipped cold but you do refrigerate after opening. Nothing on the label indicates preservatives are added. We have found it helps to reduce leg cramps.

the box lists Active Ingredients both for muscle cramps: cuprum Metallicum 6X H.P.U.S. 0.05%and Magnesia sulfate 6X H.P.U. S. 0.05% (Homeopathic Pharmacopea of the United States)There is a website for it and a phone number on the web site

Magnesium has a calming effect on muscles. We absorb it more through our skin more effectively than when taking it by pill form. I started it because I had restless legs and it enhances sleep. So your answer is Yes. but leg cramps can also be a sign low potassium. Halli RN

Coprum Metallicum and Magnesia Sulfate. I wouldn't bother to waste your money. It was expensive, came in a very small bottle that ran out in no time and it didn't work. I use Hyland's Leg Cramps and Hyland's Leg Cramp PM. Both are sold on Amazon and in drugstores. Better buy on Amazon. There are 7 ingredients in the daytime and about 12 in the PM. Other than magnesium I haven't heard of the ingredients except for the Quinine. These are homeopathic pills. Hylands has a website with these and other products. I swear by these products as they have helped immensely. Check them out and good luck. Hope I helped. Susan

Hi thanks to mollierhea I looked in to this I found that while both the acid reflux and the stop leg cramps contain the same ingredients; the amounts are different so that one is for the leg cramps one is for the reflux. I have only used the stop leg cramps, it worked well. I am now ordering the reflux just in case. :)

yes, Cinchona Officinalis 3X HPUS is the first ingredient listed and that is a type of quinine. You can contact MrMedical@ymail.com or callHyland's at 800-624-9659

In addition to trying calcium/magnesium for leg cramps, try the Now Foods Apple Cider Vinegar capsules. Helped my stepfather's nighttime leg cramps.

According to their website: http://www.hylandslegcramps.com/faq "...we deal with micro-doses of active ingredients - in this case 0.0078 mg of Cinchona bark (the natural source of quinine) per tablet ..."A therapeutic dose, back when quinine was sold over the counter, was between 200 and 300 mg, and the bark itself is only 5% quinine. .0078mg bark = .00039mg quinine. You would have to take 512000 pills to get a single dose of quinine.

I don't have the box anymore. It says on the bottle, Cuprum Metallicum and Magnesia Sulfate. You can try their website also. I have been using it for years for legs cramps at night and it works fast and great. I even take it along on trips.

I believe it does in the form of bark or extract from the tree that is the natural source of quinine. This the one prod that I have found that works
