Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Renalof administration promotes partial or total dissolution of urinary calculi and improves physicochemical parameters and metabolic activity in patients with recurrent calcic urolithiasis. The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 12 weeks. The estimated number of patients to be recruited and randomized for the study is 110. Ultrasonographic and humoral parameters will be assessed every 4 weeks.
Interventions
One Renalof tablet (Orally administered) three times a day (just before each meal: breakfast, lunch and dinner), for 12 weeks
One Placebo tablet (Orally administered) three time a day (just before each meal: breakfast, lunch and dinner), for 12 weeks
