Medications to help pass kidney stones. Certain medications can improve your chances of passing a stone if you are experiencing an active stone episode. The most commonly used medication is tamsulosin (Flomax). Other similar medications used for this purpose include alfuzosin, nifedipine, doxazosin, and terazosin.
For those lucky enough to pass stones without discomfort (and it does happen) they are saved from a world of trouble and expensive procedures. Ideally, someone suffering from kidney stones would want to: Soften/dissolve stones. Relax the kidneys, ureter, and urethra (for comfortable passage of stones)
