ABSTRACT = {Guaifenesin is a commonly used expectorant whose use
may lead to the occasional formation of guaifenesin
urinary stones. We herein describe a patient who was
taking 2400 mg Guaifenesin per day as part of his
treatment for asthma. He had a past history of a
guaifenesin stone removed ureteroscopically. His current
presentation was with a 9 mm by 6 mm stone in the upper
left ureter, seen on CT scan, and treated initially with a
ureteral stent and hydration. After 3 weeks, the stone
had disappeared, as confirmed by repeat CT scan. The
genesis and treatment of guaifenesin stones is discussed.},
