Hello
Thanks for query .
Your Ultrasound scanning has reveled you to have a small stone in your kidney and your family physician has prescribed tab Zurig 4o mg .

Zurig is class of drug that belongs to Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors that lowers down Uric acid levels in blood and dissolve the uric acid stones .

However it is prescribed only when the stone that patient has passed out through urine or removed by intervention is analysed in laboratory and confirmed to be Uric Acid stone and not otherwise .

A small stone in the kidney will pass out spontaneously with general measures like drinking more water ,taking antibiotics and Tomsulosin ..

Once you pass out the stone in urine It can be sent for analysis and if confirmed to be uric acid stone Zurig can be taken to prevent recurrence of stone formation .
