I've been diagnosed with a couple of stones in my kidney and gallbladder. While the kidney stones have completely dissolved, the recent ultrasound shows that the gallstones are still in raw formation. Is there any treatment option other than removing the gallbladder? I'm currently taking Udiliv 300.

For gallstones.... U would need surgical removal of gall bladder. Udiliv is given to prevent formation of gallstones in high risk patients such as obese patients n patients who have undergone bariatric surgery.
