Proximol 0.4mg – 40 Sugar-Coated Tablets
Available at Pharmaegy Pharmacy. Use as directed by your doctor.
Intro: Proximol Tablets are a specialized urological treatment produced by Kahira Pharmaceuticals. While the "Proximol Compound" effervescent is famous for dissolving stones, the tablets are more focused on providing relief from the intense pain and spasms caused by those stones. The active ingredient is Halphabarol (0.4mg), an extract from the Halfa Bar plant that acts as a potent smooth muscle relaxant.
Indications:
Ureteric Spasms: Relief of sharp pain caused by the movement of kidney stones through the ureter.
Renal Colic: Managing the severe cramping associated with kidney stones.
Stone Passage: Easing the expulsion of small ureteric stones by relaxing the walls of the urinary tract.
How to Use:
Dosage: Typically 1 to 2 tablets, three times daily.
Timing: Best taken after meals with plenty of water.
Tip: Your doctor may combine these tablets with Proximol Effervescent granules or other treatments to both dissolve the stone and manage the pain simultaneously.
Crucial Rules:
Water Intake: To help the stones move out safely, you must drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water daily.
Pregnancy: It is generally advised to avoid Proximol during the first trimester of pregnancy. Consult your doctor before use.
Side Effects: Very rare, but some people may experience mild nausea or stomach upset.
Warning: If you experience high fever, severe blood in the urine, or an inability to urinate, seek medical attention immediately as these are signs of an obstructed kidney.
Generic International Brands: Purely local formulation based on Halfa Bar extract.
