1 -- A thiazide diuretic, which is frequently prescribed for calcium calculi, acts to reduce urinary calcium excretion and is very effective in preventing further stones. Furosemide (Lasix) is a thiazide diuretic. Penicillin (Pentids) is an antimicrobial. Allopurinol (Alloprim) is used to reduce serum levels of uric acid. NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are used to reduce pain and fever. Neither penicillin, allopurinol, nor NSAIDs would influence the formation of calcium stones.
