Hello!
Dotin - drotaverine is a smooth muscle relaxant.
So when a stone is in ureter, there is obstruction to urine outflow which body tries to overcome by excessive contractions of smooth muscles in ureter causing pain. This is relieved by drotin.
In my clinic, I prescribe voveran for pain due to renal stones & advise surgery for symptomatic stones greater than 8 mm in size.
Hope this information is useful for you.
Thanks. Regards.
