Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
A parallel group open labelled randomised  controlled trial to compare the spontaneous passage  of lower ureteric calculi 5-10 mm in size, upon usage of Tamsulosin 0.4 mg alone as control, compared with Tamsulosin 0.4 mg and  Deflazacort 30 mg in one arm and Tamsulosin 0.4 mg ,  Deflazacort 30mg  and Tadalafil 10 mg in the second arm.Patients shall be given the treatment orally, daily for 3 weeks. Patients shall be reviewed weekly, for evidence of passage radiologically.  Those unable to pass their calculi spontaneously,shall be treated by ureteroscopy. Adverse events shall also be monitored.
