Kidney Stones, Severe Back Pain. Prescribed Citralka Syrup, Flexon. Cure For Symptoms?
Hi , I have been diaognized with small kidney stones and have been advised to drink lot of water. I am suffering from severe back pain though. The medicines I have been given are citralka syrup and Flexon. Would these help to dissolve the stone and how lond would it take for the back pain to go away. I can not even sit for more tahn 10 mins because of back pain.

Dear Ankit,
98 % of small renal stones may pass spontaneously through urination within four weeks of the onset of symptoms. The drug, Flexon is an analgesic, that is for pain relief. Citralka is a urine alkalanizer which helps to dissolve certain type of stones.
Management of kidney stones depends on so many factors like size, type and number of stones.
As your symptoms persists, I would suggest you to have a review and re-evaluation of treatment.

hi there, you have obviously visited a urologist and the stone must be small enough for him to suggest that it will pass out in urine.,The medicine that you have been prescribed are only symptomatic and will not help in dissolving the stone. Flexon will help to relieve the pain. The pain tht you are experiencing is due to the spasmodic action of the ureter as the stone is moving down or is pushed down so it will be there till the stone is expelled out. In the meanwhile you can take plenty of fluid as advised by your doctor and hopefully the stone will pass out fast . Take care.
