What Are The Medication For Kidney Stones?
I am Suffering from Kidney stone from last 5 years due to recurrence of kidney stone. Done test as per doctor advised where in Sr Calcium is 10.76 Mg/dl and Uric Acid 5.97 Mg/dl is found slightly high .now i am having kidney stone 9 mm in left kidney and 4 mm and 5mm in right kidney.
i am taking following medicine potrate Mb6 ,Urimax 0.4 , Oxalobact,viminta
and Faburic40 from last 1 month.
but from last few days feeling weakness as well back pain daily. earlier i didn't feel like that only sudden pain whenever stone passed.
doctor suggested the medicine for three month . is there any side effect of the medicine and is there any chances that 9mm stone will pass or dissolve?
also i had operated 2 yr before for 10 mm stone? is lithotripsy is better than leproscopy?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Recurrence of stone is very common in a individual with metabolic disorders .
As regards the treatment for existing stones .
1) A stone of size of 9 mm in left kidney can be fragmented by a procedure called extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) before it moves down and gets impacted in upper ureter. This is a simple procedure and does not require hospitalization nor anesthesia .
2) Stones in the Rt kidney are small and can be expected to pass out spontaneously.
3) Continue taking Faburic 40 and Oxabact with the hope to prevet recurrence .
