Description:

Calcury Tablets are a polyherbal Ayurvedic formulation designed to support urinary tract health and help manage urinary stones (urolithiasis/kidney stones) and related symptoms. It is used to reduce the size of existing stones, prevent new stone formation, relieve associated pain, burning micturition, dysuria, and urinary tract irritation. It promotes diuresis, has litholytic (stone-dissolving) and anti-inflammatory properties, and helps maintain normal urine composition. In Ghana and many African/Asian markets, it is a popular herbal supplement for kidney stone complaints and recurrent urinary tract issues.

Prescription: Over-the-counter (OTC) Ayurvedic/herbal supplement. No prescription required in Ghana; freely available in pharmacies, herbal shops, and online platforms. However, consult a doctor or urologist before use, especially if there are large stones, severe pain, blood in urine, fever, or recurrent infections (may require ultrasound, lab tests, or conventional treatment).
