Suggest treatment for kidney stones
Patient: hello. i was recently diagnosed with kidney stones. I was given drugs for it but i have a questionabout one particular one. It s called Ideos. Its composed of calcium carbonate and vitamin D. My question is should i be taking calcium supplements for kidney stones? Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. As such calcium supplements are not required for kidney stones.  But if you have kidney disease or dysfunction then calcium supplements are required.  Treatment of stone depends on size and location of stone.  Stone less than 3mm need no treatment. Larger stone required surgery.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
