Customer question:
Night leg cramps - what are they, and how do they affect general health?
Anonymous customer.
Answer:
Leg cramps are painful, involuntary muscle contractions lasting seconds or minutes. Muscle spasms hurt your sleep, exercise, and overall quality of life. In addition, certain medical conditions and medications can cause cramps.
Nocturnal leg cramps occur when you are not active or sleeping. Nocturnal leg cramps can happen to anyone at any age but are most common in older adults.
Medication Detralex
The medicine Detralex is used to prevent regular spasms. Chronic venous disease is a disease of the veins in the legs, in which the blood drains too slowly from the lower limbs, so the fluid passes through the wall of the capillaries (smallest vessels) and collects in the tissue. The venous disease manifests as painful or tired legs, feeling of heavy legs, itching, night cramps in the legs, the appearance of varicose veins (varicose veins) on the legs, and swelling.
