Medical treatment of kidney stones.
A medical treatment for nephrolithiasis may either aim to ease  the pain, caused by a renal colic or prevent the occurrence of kidney stones.
 Opioid painkillers, such as morphine, diamorphine or codeine, may be given intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the drug and severity of the pain.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be useful, as well.
The preventive options for a pharmaceutical therapy are quite limited but in many cases, they can be very helpful. Depending on the nature of the kidney stones a patient tends to form, a physician may prescribe a medicine accordingly, as it is described bellow.

We strongly recommend generic forms of a medicine, whenever they are available, rather than brand-names. A generic drug is a preparation which is the same as a brand-name drug in terms of dosage, safety, strength, the way it is taken, quality, performance and intended use. Generic drugs are therapeutically equivalent to their brand-name counterparts. In other words, they contain the same chemical ingredients and have the same medical effect. The differences between a generic and brand-name drug are the name and the price. A generic drug can be up to 80% less expensive in comparison to an equivalent brand-named counterpart.
Today almost half of all prescriptions are filled with generic drugs. For more information about generic drugs you can read the Frequently Asked Questions about generic drugs.
