Primary Endpoint
Spontaneous stone passage for distal ureteral calculi

Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study will assess improvement in the percentage of spontaneous stone passage for distal ureteral calculi for alfuzosin compared to placebo, decrease of pain and narcotic/analgesic use associated with stone passage, decrease of the time to spontaneous stone passage, shift in the size distribution of stones passed towards larger sizes.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Age =>18
  • <8mm ureteral calculus below the pelvic brim identified by non-contrast CT scan and/or intravenous pyelogram

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subject with know hypersensitivity to Alfuzosin hydrochloride or any component of Alfuzosin hydrochloride tablets
  • Pregnant/Nursing females
