i'm on advair and it seemed like i was getting cramps somewhere on my body day and night and they were getting severe. i was wondering if i should blame the advair (didn't want to as doing so well on it). i read where being dehydrated could cause cramping and then i realized that tho i drink water constantly, i really only take a couple of sips at a time. so i made myself take 5 swallows every time i thought of it and every time i woke up at night (sometimes 2-3 times a night). to my amazement i havent had one cramp in three days. it was as simple as that. so if someone else is having a problem with cramps give water a try.

I had a similar experience. So simple isn't it? And so easy to look for medication side effects! I don't think many people drink as much water as they should.
Good advice, thanks for the reminder. I only really like hot drinks but am trying to alternate them with plain water. Robin
Certainly worth making a note of Jarc13. I suffer with leg cramps first thing in a morning if I take too much Fostair, Vetolin and Atrovent give me no problem at all, but I often drink plenty of orange concentrated diluted a lot with water.
Glass of tonic in the evening works a treat to prevent night cramps x
hope there's not gin in it
but your right Bryju, tonic water is good, maybe too gassy for some folks, but it does work.
