Can Taking Urimax Be Safe For Stones In Bladder?
Hi I am currently having kidney stones in my bladder ( 8mm, 6mm and 2mm). I am currently taking urimax 0.4mg per day. I am currently in a bit of pain because I feel one the smaller stones is trying to make its way out. The question is: Can I take another dose of 0.4mg Urimax even though the last dosage was only 10 hours ago?

Hello
Thanks for your query .
You have stones in the ureter and have been prescribed Urimax once daily .
Urimax is a smooth muscle relaxant which helps to relax smooth muscles in the wall off ureter resulting into dilatation of lumen of ureter which thereby helps to pass the down .
Action of Urimax remains for 24 hours hence prescribed only once in a day .Taking one more tablet will not help much and should be avoided .
