If you have taken Berberis Vulgaris and still the stone is there. I would recommend that you take Stonebreaker capsules, one daily for a month. Land Caltrops capsule, one daily for a month.

Is it safe to use Berberis Vulg for a period of 6 months.
I am having h/o multiple renal calculi and now I am using Berberis since last 2 months
15 drops in 100 ml of water - twice daily along with Chimaphilia Umbellata 15 drops in 100 ml of water once daily.
So for how much duration is it safe to continue both the medications.

Thanks & Regards
