Quinine

Quinine has a history of causing severe side effects, even death, and was banned by the FDA in 2006. The only type of Quinine allowed to be used in the United States is Qualiquin, and only to treat Malaria. What is Quinine? Quinine sulfate is a medication that can treat parasites in the body, and it used to be considered safe to treat other conditions such as Quinine for leg cramps. This is no longer considered safe by the FDA, and you should not buy Quinine water, tonic water with Quinine, Quinine Hydrochloride, Quinine Sulfate, or Hyland’s Leg Cramps with Quinine. These items may still be available for purchase through the Internet or from stores located outside the United States, but Quinine has been banned except for treating Malaria in the US, so the product is illegal and extremely harmful.

If you treat leg cramps with Quinine, or make Quinine water, or take a medication from the sources of Quinine sulfate, you are putting your health and life at risk. The side effects of Quinine sulfate can include dizziness, collapse, uneven heart beat, ringing in the ears, and more. A common side effect of Quinine is death, and this is the reason the product has been banned for use in the US. The effects of Quinine on an unborn fetus can be extremely harmful, resulting in birth defects. Other side effects can include effects on urination frequency, possibly causing you to stop urinating altogether, purple spots under the skin, and more.

If you need to use Quinine to treat Malaria as required by the FDA, you should follow all guidelines set forth by your doctor strictly. Typically, your doctor will be the one to administer the medication, and you will need to be monitored while taking it at all times. This can prevent severe reactions and death related to Quinine use. Malaria is a parasite typically acquired through a mosquito bite, and it is less common in the United States than in many other countries. This is why Quinine, even in the form to treat Malaria, is not readily available in the States. It may be hard to locate the drug for treatment of Malaria since Quinine was banned at the end of 2006. However, it has not been banned in other countries, so access to the medication is not impossible when this type of treatment is required by your doctor.
