  • Title: Comparative effects of anticalculus management in the rat.
    Author: Selikowitz SM, Olsson CA.
    Journal: Invest Urol; 1976 Sep; 14(2):120-3. PubMed ID: 972003.
    Abstract:
    Utilizing a low pyridoxine, ethylene glycol-fed rat model, various modes of anticalculus therapy were compared. Prophylactic papillary and parenchymal oxalate stone therapy is most effective with magnesium oxide. Hydrochlorothiazide is next in order as the therapy of choice in this group. A high calcium diet seems to negate the effect of magnesium oxide. Methylene blue, magnesium oxide, and even sodium phosphate, are not as effective as hydrochlorothiazide in the combined prevention and treatment of preformed parencymal calcium oxalate stones. No agent seems to have a profound effect on preformed apical papillary calculi.
