Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 Actually, Quinamm, which was discontinued in 1996, is quinine sulfate and, according to Saunders 1998 word book, it's prescribed for " prevention and treatment of nocturnal leg cramps [quinine sulfate] 260 mg " , and quinine is listed as " antimalarial schizonticide; treatment of nocturnal leg cramps 200, 260, 325 mg oral " .
