Hello, Lee! How is your daughter?

Please do not give her any medication without her doctor's approval. It is very, very easy to overdose a child to the point of fatal toxicity.

Additionally, there are many conditions listed by the NIH that may cause cramps, such as diarrhea, gas, overeating, not eating enough, medications, viruses and flu, so before treating it, you need to find out what's causing the problem.

Does she have any other symptoms?

You should definitely run this by their pediatrician, but likely not. The active ingredient in this medication is Hyoscine, also known as Scopolamine. I was reading a leaflet on Scopex and it states "Due to the risk of provoking hyperpyrexia it should not be given to patients, especially children where the ambient temperature is high." It also says "Use with caution in children, geriatric patients, patients with diarrhoea, fever, and in conditions characterised by tachycardia". Source
