The side effects are as follows.
Tinnitus. Headaches. Nausea. Disturbed vision. Confusion.
Hot flushes.
The leaflet was by the NHS Dorset Clinic Commissioning Group.
You know what I am glad you posted this information.
I have been on quinine since the begining of time because of chest cramps and for the past 7yrs at least I have suffered badly with tinnitus.
Somedays I can't even hear the wife speaking to me.
Which I must admit can be a blessing at times.
Anyways I had given up mentioning it to my quack doctor years ago, because she could do nothing about it.
Just last week I was talking to my nephew he plays football and trains most days unless playing and he was drinking water with a Science in Sport Go Hydro Hydration Tablets and it stops cramps there are various flavours so I think I will try them out and stop using the quinine. Its gotta be worth a try if only to hear my sweet wifes voice again.
Thanks Newcomer.
