[|Human|] My husband had an open surgery last sept 07 due to a staghorn calculus in his left kidney.He is also diagnosed as having a very small stone in his right kidney but were not sure if it is still there.Can he safely take MX3 herbal capsule and tea to prevent the recurrence of stones?
[|AI|]  **1. To be sure of recurrence of stone, apart from management one should have a check on common points which can/may lead to stone formation, like:. Monitoring of blood and urine calcium levels [including calcium/vitamin D rich diet/ hyperparathyroidism]. Use of calcium based antacids, being overweight. Under HY Chat Doctor.  Serum uric acid level, use of diuretics, any bowel disorder.2. Although MX3 [mangosteen Anthony] capsule has anti oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but since there are no APPROVED THERAPEUTIC CLAIMS, it will be best to consult with your Doctor prior to start the same, also since tea contains oxalate and 80% of kidney stones are made of calcium oxalate, thus you should limit tea consumption, but
