Hello
Thanks for query .Your sister has kidney stones and has been prescribed Contiflo .
Contiflo is a drug that belongs to alpha blockers that relax the smooth muscles in ureter and bladder neck .This causes dilatation of ureter and thereby helps to pass the stones from kidney in to bladder at ease .
