Hello
You didn't mention the gender , age and other symptoms indicating that for which this drug prescribed .
Contiflo 0.4 mg is TAMSULOSIN and this is indicated for BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA ( BPH ) .
You are having kidney so this is not indicated for renal stone .
In my opinion consult your doctor and get his opinion about this drug.
Good luck.
