Cramp

Can anyone suggest a remedy for night cramp in ankles or shins?
I have had quinine tablets in the past but I know doctors are not keen on prescribing them.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I suffer with cramp too Stillthinkim18 I drink a lot of water throughout the day and mainly drink a bottled water with added magnesium. Seems to help as the cramp returns when I'm away from home without access to the water.
