i have cmt (charcot-marie-tooth disease a form of muscular dystrophy) and drink schwepps tonic water to relieve leg and arm cramps. tonic water contains quinine (at low levels). i have found that when chilled the tonic water tastes similar to grapefruit juice. quinine pills are also available but i have read that gastrointestinal distress can result from the pills. i hope this helps you. best wishes.
