About Flodart-DZ Capsule 10's

Flodart-DZ Capsule 10's is an oral medication primarily prescribed to help patients pass kidney stones located in the urinary tract. It works by easing the passage of these stones and reducing the localized swelling and pain they cause.

You should take Flodart-DZ Capsule 10's consistently at the same time every day to ensure it works effectively. It is best taken with or immediately after a meal, preferably breakfast or your first meal of the day.
