About Defcort TM Tablet
Defcort TM Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat kidney stones. Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made up of calcium, phosphate and other minerals/acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. Defcort TM Tablet may also help provide relief from pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with kidney stones.
