Suggest Treatment For Gallstone
Good day. My sister has some goldstones and some clinic sister advised that there is also some treatment one can drink and she passes them when she goes to the toilet; how true is that because I am concerned she might take anything as advised which might not even be safe for her. If there is any treatment like that can it be bought over the counter at the chemist?

Hello, Thanks for using Healthcare magic. i had gone through data you have posted.
there are two types of treatment of gall stones, medical and surgical.
medical therapy will be able to decrease the size of stone at the rate of 0.5 mm per month so we try it if the size of stone is less than 5 to 7 mm, we can try even for large stone but the response may not be that great.
if patient develop acute cholecystitis or pancreatitis then surgical treatment is preferred as it removes the problem directly.
gall stones are the most common cause of pancreatitis.
tab to be used is UDILIV 300 mg 0-0-1, you may feel mild nausea, headache or dizzeness with this medication but no major side effects.
when the size of gall stones decrease there is every chance they get excreated in stools.
avoid oil foods and prolonged fasting as they favour gall stone formation.
hope this helps..
