DUNROAMIN Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi, Male expats with prostrate enlargement will no what this is for. I am trying to find any alternate brands that are not so expensive. This brand is about 1200B for one months supply. If you are being treated for prostrate enlargement with another brand, but same ingrediants I would grateful for some feedback reference this matter.

Sheryl Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Moved to the health Forum. The only other brand of this (tamsulosin) in Thailand is called Uroflow and, like Harnal, it is a Western impirt so might nto be any cheaper. Cardura is not same as Harnal, it is doxazosin whereas Harnal is tamsulosin. Doxazosin is, however, in same general class of drugs and has similar action, and is far less expensive (especially if a locally made brand, of which there are several) so it may be worth asking your doctor if you can switch to doxazosin. Locally made brands of doxazosin are: Barova 4 Cardoxa Cazosin Dezcard these all cost much less than Cradura, which is an imported brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Cazosin 4mg for about 3 years now have found it very effective. I also endeavor to keep active with a daily walk, some yoga or qigong and the all important Kegel exercise.

ThailandRyan Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Mega Uroflow .4 mg is what I use and I buy three boxes at a time, averages about 600 baht for each box. Gives me a 3 month supply like I get with all of my meds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerslife Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It won't make a huge difference but you are being overcharged for the Harnal. Here, in Pak Chong, I pay THB 1050 per box of 30 tablets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will B Good Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I have been prescribed Xatral, an Alpha blocker for BPH.........am I on the right stuff? I was also prescribed Duodart, but reading up on it, there are concerns it can actually trigger an aggressive form of prostate cancer, so I have never taken it!!!!

Tamosalin basically, just ask the pharmascuatcat any walk in pharmacy. It is over the counter here.
