How long does it take for drugs to dissolve kidney stones?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My wife has 12 mm and 10 mm stones in both left and right kidneys. Currently, she is using Cystone forte, Neeri tablet, and Smashit. So, how many days it will take to dissolve these stones? Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I just read your query. First of all, let me tell you one thing: the size of the stones is large. Kidney stones, which are around four to five mm in size, can easily dissolve with the help of medicine compared to large stones. Another thing is the composition of the stone, which means the stone has been formed from which thing, which also matters.
Some stones are unable to dissolve with the help of medicine. But we cannot know without examination from which thing the stone has been made. So continue your treatment. In case you face any trouble, you may require consultation with a urologist. If stones will be dissolved with the help of medicine, then fine; otherwise, she might require surgical management.
I hope this helps.
Please revert so I can assist you further.
Thank you.
