Medications to treat kidney stones


Are medications away necessary when one has kidney stones?

For the first episode of kidney stones, the treatment is hydration and pain control, some people may have calcium stones and may benefit from a water pill (thiazide) or a phosphate-containing pill. These pills will prevent stones from forming in the urinary system

Individuals who have uric acid stones may benefit from use of allopurinol, the drug needs to be combined with a bicarbonate pill to ensure that no more uric acid stones are formed.

You can rest assured, even if you do not use any of the above medications, you will still require something strong to relieve the pain. The pain from a kidney stone can cripple most humans within seconds.
