Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

To address your situation, it is important to consider your hypertension condition. While surgical removal, like laparoscopic methods or lithotripsy, is a definitive solution for kidney stones, I would suggest exploring conservative approaches first, given your blood pressure concerns.

  1. Ensure your blood pressure is well managed, either through medication or dietary adjustments.
  2. Hydration is key – drink ample water to increase urine production, promoting the possibility of stone passage.
  3. Consider taking Furosemide 20 mg tablet daily, as it acts as a diuretic, aiding stone elimination through urine.
  4. The use of Dissolve tablets (two tablets thrice a day) can help fragment the stone into smaller pieces, facilitating easier expulsion.
  5. Citro Soda sachet (three times daily in a glass of water) can alleviate urinary disturbances.

Consult your specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medications as per their advice.

Feel free to follow up for further guidance.

Thank you.
