10 Causes of Kidney Stone

Medications

A couple of medications and drugs would cause kidney stones. These include HIV/AIDS drugs, antibiotics like sulfa and ciprofloxacin, as well as diuretics. They prevent the body from absorbing minerals like calcium as usual. As a result, these compounds would build up over time and form stones in your kidney and other parts of the digestive tract. To reduce the risk, it is better to consult your doctor carefully before taking any of these medications. You should also follow the instructions and take the right dosage to prevent possible side effects. [10]
