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.
Treatment depends on the type of stone and the severity of your symptoms. Kidney stones that are small usually pass through your system on their own. Your urine should be strained so the stone can be saved and tested. Drink at least 6 - 8 glasses of water per day to produce a large amount of urine.
