Suggest Treatment For Kidney Stones
I have been taking performing for years and while on vacation ended up in the emergency room with renal kidney failure and had a kidney stone. Since that time my sister in law informed me that there are lawsuits against the drug and that it causes kidney issues and in some cases death.

Hello,
Firstly, there is a need to confirm the diagnosis.
For this, I would like to give you a diagnostic test:
1. Complete Blood Test including calcium and Uric acid
2. Urine analysis
3. Kidney CT
I would like to give some treatments:
1. For Pain, Ibuprofen
2. Amlodipine
Please keep checking your blood pressure. If it is too low or if you feel weak, please do not continue Amlodipine. A doctor can follow you up and can give the next course of treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dipan Samanta, General & Family Physician
