Taxol made my muscle spasm. Sometimes while walking or standing I thought my legs could buckle. A couple weeks later my lab work showed that I was low on potassium. Tonic water is a good source of potassium if you can drink it. I get it real cold. It's easier to drink that way.

over 6 years agoJust to clarify, tonic water is just carbonated water and is not a good source of potassium. Traditional tonic water contains quinine which is helpful in preventing muscle cramps when used regularly/daily. Check the label though, because some brands use the term tonic water even if it is just carbonated water with salt and sugar added but without the quinine.

over 6 years agoIf it is potassium problem try eating bananas or drinking tomato, orange and V8 juice. two of the drugs i take cause muscle spasms and these all help. They also got my potassium level back to a more or less normal level and taste a XXX of a lot better than tonic water ;-)
