It produces a very but temporary burn-like pain.>> I am of the opinion that dystonic foot and leg cramps are not "superficial thigh leg pain" for which capsaicin is touted. I have gotten little or othing from tonic water, but some claim some benefit from quinine sulfate. The apparent removal from the shelves may mean someone made a ruling that it is not efficacious. I haave not searched long, but did not find any info using three or four pharmacy pages on the www. If someone has pertinent info, I would welcome it. ron 1936, dz PD 1984 Ronald F.
