I don’t think you can buy Quinine over the counter in the U.K. Maybe ask for a prescription?

When I get cramps it is an indication of dehydration.
I tried all sorts, but creeping to the bathroom and drinking a pint or more of water has always worked since I realised it was what was needed.

Oh also some brands of tonic water contain quinine, whether it contains enough to treat cramps I don’t know. Might be worth a try, but make sure to get a sugar free one of course.
