Quinine update - USA

Post by ViewsAskew »

As many of us know, quinine still gets prescribed for RLS, yet it works for less than 5% of those taking it. So, I wasn't unhappy when I saw this article today. But, I can see why some others with leg cramps might be disturbed. I do hope that these doctors still using it for RLS now have to come into the 21st century for treating RLS, however.
