Avatar f tn in earlier forums you have suggested carbonated beverages both cola and white soda are unhealthy. Does this apply to quinine water? My neurologist has suggested for cramping relief.
1225178 tn?1318980604 In recent years, quinine has also been discovered to provide aid for those patients who suffer from chronic leg cramps, and thousands of patients have been using it for this purpose. However, recent statistics have revealed several potentially-serious problems with the off-label use of this drug.
Avatar f tn Given that yesterday he said to not take the warfarin he was changing me from the genertic warfarin and putting me on the brand name of the med coumadin. Said some folks do not tolerate warfarin well but do well on coumadin and i am to start the coumadin today. I would be lying if i didn't say i am a bit gunshy at this point. This med has made me absolutely miserable and today is my 43rd bday...
Avatar n tn In June of 2007 the FDA took action concerning quinine-containing drugs. It did approve a quinine drug product some years earlier solely for the treatment of malaria caused by a parasite. In the 2007 report the FDA said, "Quinine is associated with a variety of serious adverse events, some of them potentially fatal." Drugs.
Avatar m tn I thought Quinine the drug was taken off the market in the US? Is the quinine in the soda the same that was in the Quinine drug I got for leg cramps years ago? Quinine used to be a prescription drug, to have it in a tonic water would be great but is this possible, I mean I know it's possible but I don't think they're one and the same.
179856 tn?1333547362 m reading about risks associated with quinine. How much is too much? How much quinine is in tonic? What are the side effects? Should I stop drinking tonic water? A. Quinine has been used medicinally to ward off malaria since the 17th century. The normal dose to treat malaria is 648 mg every eight hours for a week. A glass of tonic has roughly 20 mg, so you can see that there is a big difference.
1506051 tn?1317731817 If you can find some quinine tablets,take those as well. The RLS will hang around for about a week or so longer but will gradually improve. Good luck!
Avatar f tn tonic water has quinine in it and it relieves cramping in ur legs, also u can ask the pharm for otc quinine tablets good luck dove
Avatar f tn They said the FDA made them discontinue using real Quinine in 1985. What they call Quinine now is artificial and used just for flavor but not made from tree bark like it used to be. So drink all you like. I enjoy it on the rocks with lime, all the time and I'm not sure but it might help stop my legs from cramping!
Avatar n tn This is exactly what I read in The Coumadin (Warfarin) Help Book. Since my husband has been taking his Warfarin before his evening meal & his INR has been keeping fairly level. And that's good news, we want no more Strokes.
Avatar f tn DOES ANYONE KNOW IF WARFARIN CAN LOWER YOUR BLOOD COUNT AND AND ALSO LOWER CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D LEVELS?
Avatar n tn In recent times, the only medication that has been widely used to prevent, and sometimes also to treat, cramps is quinine. Quinine acts by decreasing the excitability of the muscles. It has also been shown to be effective in many, but not all, scientific studies. However, quinine also causes birth defects and miscarriages. It has also occasionally caused hypersensitivity reactions and a deficiency of platelets, which are the blood components responsible for clotting.
Avatar n tn ve tried to read as much as I can about warfarin along the way. I even went to a day-long CEU workshop for medical professionals on warfarin management and got the certificate. But I'm still not an expert. To my way of thinking, the experts are the hematologists, pharmacists, and other health professionals who manage large numbers of people's warfarin on a daily basis.
942410 tn?1274047074 Clearly your question is one for your doctor to answer. In my experience with Warfarin, and I get along well with it, aspirin is much easier to deal with if it is sufficient. I don't know the relationship between having a pacemaker and needing Warfarin. Warfarin is a blood anticoagulant (thinner) as I'm sure you know. It is taken to reduce clot formation caused by something line Atrial Fibrillation or mechanical heart valves.
2059648 tn?1439766665 Actually I drink tonic water occasionally for the leg cramps as it containes quinine. Quinine has had some medicinal use in reducing leg cramps. However quinine has it's own problems so I do not drink it very often.
718869 tn?1236260459 I found out not to get the one for restful legs but the one for leg cramps with Quinine in it. If you are no able to find it you can drink Tonic water before bed will also help. Tonic water also has Quinine in it. Hope this helps anyone with rls. Have a good day to all and keep up the good work!
Avatar f tn ve been getting restless legs bad and was told that tonic water with quinine would help. Does anybody know if this is safe for baby?
1718647 tn?1437510739 Hi acesmom, It is Hylands Restful Leg and the ingredient in it is Quinine although they have outlawed quinine in the U.S. they have found a way to make a derivative Naturally. I showed my kidney Dr. a bottle of it, He was surprised and spoke in length how they go about skirting law in Natural medicine. He also said they use to use quinine during dialysis to relive cramps. He said to go ahead and use it for me If I cramp and it helps.
Avatar f tn 3 days later (boxing day) I was rushed to hospital with chest pains and diagnosed with self imposed pulmonary embolism. I was put on to Warfarin and monitored in hospital for 2 weeks.
Avatar m tn t know how warfarin is affecting your life style. I have been on warfarin for years and had no concerns about running and bike riding, and using power wood working tools. All of these activities puts one at an increased risk of a cut and bleeding, but I simply take the risk. On the other hand, I don't sky dive, or pick fights ....
