Apparently tonic water is a good remedy. This is because it contains quinine, which is what the GP generally prescribes for cramp,

Of course, adding the gin is purely to mask the awful taste;)

I imagine you would drink it. don't think they recommend topical application of the tablets either:0

I tried tonic water but can't stand the taste so tend to rub voltarol into my legs so I can get to sleep.

I find keeping them cool helps as well and have a dehumidifier I put on timer when I go to bed.
