title = "PREVENTION OF MUSCLE CRAMPS IN H{\AE}MODIALYSIS PATIENTS BY QUININE SULPHATE",
abstract = "Nine patients on maintenance h{\ae}modialysis with frequent muscle cramps were given 320 mg quinine sulphate or placebo (in an identical gelatin capsule) at the beginning of each dialysis for a period of 12 weeks. The frequency of cramps was significantly reduced during dialysis in patients receiving quinine sulphate. None of the h{\ae}matological, auditory, or visual disturbances ascribed to quinine sulphate were noted.",
