HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are alternative medications that may work just as well for you that you may be able to tolerate better.
You may need to consider seeing your doctor for a possible change in medication.
A muscle relaxant may also help to relieve the cramps as well.
If there is no relief with the change in medication and the use of a muscle relaxant, then you may need blood tests to check the levels of electrolytes that may cause cramps eg sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium
I hope this helps
