Meds do not break up kidney stones. Meds dilate your ureters to allow passage.

Actually, there ARE meds that help dissolve kidney stones. It depends on the kind of kidney stones you have. Mine was the size of a small rock, so it was big enough that it was blocking my urine from passing properly. My urologist indeed gave me meds that reduced the uric acids in my urine and helped dissolve my stones. Perhaps my ureters were also relaxed in the process, but it damn sure didn’t feel like it. That shit was killing me for weeks!!!

It depends on the type of stone you have from what I understand. There isn't anything for certain stones other than lithotripsy/surgical removal.

It definitely depends on the type of stones you have. Mine didn’t require surgical removal, thankfully.
