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.
When trying to pass a stone, patients should proceed as follows: ï· 1  Drink plenty of fluids to promote increased urinary flow which may help pass the stone. ï· 2  Be active. ï· 3  You may be given a pill that may help pass the stone. ï·  When pain hits, take up to two pain pills every three hours as needed.
