ureteric calculi by the unique action of its content of proximadiol (present in the
purified extract of Halfa bar) which produces ureteric dilatation while increasing
the propulsive movement of the smooth muscles of the ureter, helping the
expulsion of the calculi.

their deposition in the urinary tract, and these effects are mainly achieved by the
action of Piperazine citrate,
