Inhibin Muscle Cramp Now Only Available on Prescription

Inhibin, a muscle spasm medication provided by the drug Mylan, is no longer available unless ordered by a physician. The Drug Evaluation Committee (CEB) determined this Wednesday

New scientific research shows that people taking Inhibin present an increased risk of serious heart arrhythmia. The use of this drug increases even the risk of death. In particular, cardiac patients should, according to the SEM, exercise caution when using the product.

Hydrokinin

The study focused on the effects of ingestion of quinine products. Ininhibin contains the active ingredient hydrokinin, which has a similar effect on the heart. This is why the MEB has decided "as a precaution" to make the drug available only on prescription from the doctor, according to a spokesman.

Inhibin is used, among other things, for the treatment of night leg cramps. The drug is sold about 15,000 times a month.
