Stones In Kidney, Ureter. Advised To Take Torate Syrup, Has Side Effects, Surgery Needed?
Hi I have few stones in kidney(both) and lower ureter . I have been taking Silofast for past 10 days but that didn t help much and just moved stones few inches further. Now I am taking Flotral 10 mg as advised by the doctor. He has also said that I can take Toterate syrup to dissolve kidney stones if I can bear side effects like uneasyness and vomiting . Please give your suggestions about the medicine and whether I should for surgery or not. Stones are of size 4mm to 6mm. 5 stones in total. 4 in both the kidneys and 1 in ureter.

Hi
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
Kidney stones of this size requires plenty of oral fluids and reduction of red meat.
The ureteric stone, if not passed in 2 to 3 weeks of the mentioned treatment- needs removal.
You need to undergo scan every 6 months to check for the stone status.
Get well soon.
Regards
DR GS
