title: [Emergency treatment of ureteral colic with nifedipine].
abstract: The Authors evaluated clinical efficacy of nifedipine versus cymetropio bromide in relieving acute ureteral colic in 40 patients. Rapidity, efficacy and time of these drugs' activity in relieving pain of ureteral colic has been evaluated. The investigation shows as nifedipine relieves acute ureteral pain more quickly than cymetropio bromide (respectively 5 minutes in 95% of patients, 20 minutes in 65% of patients), but for a brief time (pain recurrence respectively in 70% and 25% of patients).
