RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF THE EFFICACY OF TAMSULOSIN, NIFEDIPINE AND PHLOROGLUCINOL IN MEDICAL EXPULSIVE THERAPY FOR DISTAL URETERAL CALCULI

Abstract

Medical expulsive therapy should be considered for distal ureterolithiasis without complications before ureteroscopy or extracorporeal lithotripsy. The use of tamsulosin in this treatment regimen produced stone expulsion in almost all cases in a short time, allowing complete home patient treatment.
