My apologies for the late reply, but we were on a short break in Cha-am. It must be quite a change, because if I understand correctly, Aspent-m 81 mg and Tamsulosin (my pee is a weak trickle 😌) is enough to use. Or Doxazosin?

Those who know Thailand better know that there is no system there like in the Netherlands of general practitioners who prescribe certain categories of medicines for physical complaints. The Thai goes to the pharmacy and gets and swallows what he / she wants. Whether one drug is counterproductive to the other no one wonders. I think commercialism also plays a role. A worldwide survey was once carried out into the use of medicines by country and capita and Thailand was number 1 and that does not surprise me if the pharmacy is a kind of medicine supermarket.
