One of the unusal uses of nifedipine(Adalat) . . -Nifedipine (as secondary therapy) in expulsion ureteral stones =================================================== Nifedipine has been used for facilitating the spontaneous expulsion of ureteral stones. It several studies without significant biases showed higher expulsion rates in comparison with control groups, and events of renal colic were not reduced. The expulsion of the stones required an average time of up to 12 days. It should be noted that the majority of the studies include distal ureteral and vesicoureteral stones. . .
