9 Helpful Secrets to Avoiding Kidney Stones

Take The Right Medication

Depending on the size and type of your kidney stones, you and your doctor can work to eliminate the stones using the right medication. Usually, this depends on the type of stone you’re suffering from.

For example:

If you get calcium stones, a thiazide diuretic or phosphate may be beneficial.
If you get uric acid stones, allopurinol (Zyloprim) can help reduce uric acid in your blood or urine.
If you get struvite stones, long-term antibiotics may be used to help reduce the amount of bacteria present in your urine
If you get cystine stones, capoten (Captopril) may help reduce the level of cystine in your urine
