Abstract

Unenhanced helical computed tomography has played an increasingly important role in the management of urinary tract stones, guiding diagnosis and control of calculus disease. We report computed tomographic and radiographic appearances of a renal calculus composed of pseudoephedrine and guaifenesin in a patient who abused over-the-counter allergy medication.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
