Works great for leg cramps, but it nearly killed me.
Works great for leg cramps, but it nearly killed me. After four years of use, it triggered ITP, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. In plain English, severe risk of bleeding to death, internally or externally, because of too few platelets in the blood. The only symptoms were little purple spots on the skin, a few at first, then over a week, hundreds, then thousands. My platelet count was 2. Normal is 150-450. Risk of death is below 10. I'm now above 100, and recovering after three hospital says, and ongoing treatment, but I wouldn't recommend the experience to anyone! From one of my doctor's notes: "Hyland's Leg Cramps which contains cinchona extract, which is known to contain quinine derivatives." ITP is exceedingly rare, and unlikely to affect most people, but wanted to share my warning.
