Is Drotin M A Good Painkiller For Kidney Stone Associated Pain?
Hello sir, I am having three stones in my kidney, two on right side having size of around 10mm and 3mm, and one on left side having size of 5.5mm. My doctor suggets me DROTIN M as a painkiller. Will you please suggest about Drotin M a good painkiller for stone pain or not. ?
Hello! Dotin - drotaverine is a smooth muscle relaxant. So when a stone is in ureter, there is obstruction to urine outflow which body tries to overcome by excessive contractions of smooth muscles in ureter causing pain. This is relieved by drotin. In my clinic, I prescribe voveran for pain due to renal stones & advise surgery for symptomatic stones greater than 8 mm in size. Hope this information is useful for you. Thanks. Regards.
