Hello
Thanks for query.
You have 1,5 cm size stone in your right kidney.
Truly speaking there are no medications that can desolve the stone .
The stone of a size of 1.5 cms is unlikely to pass out spontaneously.
The only safest option is to get it fragmented by a procedure called Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy.(E.S.W.L.)
