Guaifenesin- and Ephedrine-Induced Stones
Journal of Endourology, 1999We report a new type of drug-induced stone that is caused by overconsumption of preparations containing guaifenesin and ephedrine.Clinical and stone analysis data from the Molecular Structure Laboratory at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were reviewed. Stone analysis was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,
