FDA Bans USE of Quinine Bisulphate 300mg

7 Replies

Went doc's today and he persrcibed Quinine Bisulphate 300mg

Usally a would not question my gp's opinion BUT think am going to give them a miss.

As its ww1 remembrance week Quinne was used at war time as antiseptic .. might come in handy if i get ebola so all keep em :)

But yer what is my doc tiring to do really .. The FDA as issued 2 warnings over pharmaceutical giants still advertising Quinine Bisulphate as a safe treatment for FOOT CRAMPs

consumerreports.org/cro/201...

As am taking Viagria i would defo have to pass on it

But research on EBOLA vaccines are intresting to say the least :

Very many years ago Quinine was used for colds, etc. It was also used by ladies who were "accidentally" pregnant to try and abort. How times have changed! - thank goodness.

NO! noone would talk about it! - I only know because a friend of mine tried it .....the doctor wrote down she had a severe cold...nothing about being pregnant! After all of that, the quinine didn't work and she had a baby after all....of course, hot gin was supposed to do that same :):)....girls today have no idea how it used to be for women before the seventies. Hope you are OK :)

Hi Daz,

No worries. I've been taking Quinine Bisulphate for as long as I can remember. Just one tablet before I go to bed, stops all the agonising cramps that I used to get in my legs and feet. It took years to find a remedy that worked and I was tried on everything, even the medication that's given to people that suffer with spastic limbs, but nothing else worked. I wouldn't be without my Quinine, so don't knock it 'til you've tried it. There are no side effects. N x
