Tonic water. It contains quinine which gets rid of cramp.

Bananas for the potassium, you may also wish to consider a magnesium supplement.

An excuse to drink tea which also have quinine in it!!! If it happens when you are driving, watch out for what footwear you are wearing. Tighter shoes tend to cut down the blood circulation, especially if your foot is stuck to the accelerator for a while without moving. Try having specific comfy shoes that you can leave in the car and use just for driving

I used to get very bad foot and calf cramps which woke me several times a night and were agonising. I now take both potassium and magnesium supplements, which lessen the frequency considerably, plus I keep a pack of these:

in the top drawer of my bedside cabinet, to take if cramps do wake me.
