I've got some meftal spas tablets at home. Is it okay to take them for kidney stone pain since my family doctor prescribed them to me before? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure it's safe.

I've been dealing with kidney stones that are 5mm in size in both of my kidneys, and it's really starting to worry me. The scan showed some obstruction in my right ureter, but the docs couldn't actually spot the stone there. What should I do next, and is this something I should be really concerned about? How can they not find the stone if its causing a blockage? I'm just trying to figure out what my options are and how serious this might be. Any advice would be great.
