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.
Medications called antispasmodics may be prescribed to help a stone pass. They relax the ureters, which can increase the likelihood of passing a stone and speed up passage by 5 to 7 days, according to an article in the December 2011 issue of the âAmerican Family Physician.â. You Might Also Like.
