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.

Focal gliosis in the right posterior periventricular region indicates:
- Gliosis: Scarring or reactive change in brain tissue
- Periventricular region: Area surrounding the ventricles (fluid-filled spaces) in the brain
Possible causes:
- Past injury or infection
- Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
- Demyelinating diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis)
- Tumors or cysts
Treatment and seriousness depend on underlying cause:
- If caused by past injury or infection, treatment might focus on managing symptoms.
- If related to demyelinating disease or tumor, treatment may involve disease-modifying therapies or surgery.
Recommendation:
Consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for:
- Detailed evaluation
- Determining underlying cause
- Developing a personalized treatment plan

View allI'm a bit worried about some test results I got. It says I have two non-obstructing calculus in my right kidney, one measuring 3.5mm and another 4.0mm, located in the interpole and lower pole calyx. The left kidney also has two non-obstructing calculus, measuring 3.6mm and 4.4mm in the same areas. Should I be concerned about these?
