Quinine Sulfate

I heard this is a must if you want to prevents cramps. Unfortunately it's too hard to guess why are are cramping due to the large imbalance of potassium, magnesium and sodium that occurs during the water loss stage (especially if you use diuretics like lasix). I heard it's is scrip drug, however any other knowledge would be appreciated!

I have a Quinine script (for cramps) but you might as well get it from an alternate source. The FDA is attacking doctors about perscribing it "off Label", as it was indeed intended for Malaria victims. (FDA really sucks)

A few months ago I got a letter from my pharmacy saying they can no longer fill it, and I have to go back to my doctor to get a "replacement". This link was on the letter for "more information."
