Members rallied around a question about the best electrolyte drinks for leg weakness, with Gatorade Zero being the most widely recommended option, praised for being easy on the stomach and available in bulk delivery from Amazon and Walmart. Several members also suggested Pedialyte, coconut water, and Liquid IV powder packets as helpful alternatives, with one member noting that MG medications can deplete electrolytes by increasing urination. A recurring theme was the importance of replacing electrolytes lost through medication, with flavor tips like Glacier Cherry and Glacier Freeze shared to make the habit easier to stick with.

Hi Carol. I'm sorry i wish I had an answer. But I was thinking perhaps Gatorade or Pedialyte . I've not experienced leg cramps..I we need potassium. I pray symptoms subside for you. God Bless.

I've used Liquid IV ( I think that's the name) It comes on power form and you just add it to water.
