While medication is designed to help the body perform various functions, sometimes this medication can end up hurting other aspects of the body. That’s not to say that every little pill you take will end up hurting as much as it helps, but there are plenty of medication out there that have been found to help and hinder.
Many men take medication to help other issues they’re having, but soon find themselves dealing with the inability to achieve an erection. Unfortunately, this is a fairly common occurrence, due to the market being filled with drugs that have been linked to erectile dysfunction.
If you’ve recently started taking a new drug and you find yourself unable to achieve an erection, this could be linked to the medication. If you’re taking any of the following type of drugs and you find yourself dealing with ED, talk to your doctor about changing medication:
– Diuretics and other high blood pressure drugs
– Antihistamines
– Parkinson’s disease medication
– Antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs
– Antiarrythmics
– Muscle relaxants
– Prostate cancer medication
– Chemotherapy drugs
To be clear, if you take one of these drugs, it’s not guaranteed that you’re going to develop erectile issues. These type of drugs have simply been linked to ED as a side effect, so if you found yourself struggling with ED and you take one of these drugs, speak to your doctor. It may be a side effect of the medication, or it may be related to something else entirely. But be safe and speak to a medical professional if ED develops while taking any of these drugs.
