My doctor prescribed me Drosis XT deflazacort 30mg and tamsulosin 0.4mg twice a day for 10 days along with other meds for kidney stones. Is taking 30mg of steroid twice a day safe for kidney stones? Are steroids usually given for this issue? Will the stones not pass without steroids?
Nephrologist opinion is advised for further treatment.
