Hi Shroom, where did you find this info - can I read more about it? ONe of the things I'm wondering is whether the herb ephedra would do the same thing. Since the "ephedrine" part of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride is the active part that does the decongesting, I wonder if an herb that has ephedrine, and is known to be decongestant (yes on both of these points for ephedra) would also be an an alpha inhibitor...and maybe would also inhibit yeast.
