Are the medications you take that are damaging your erections?

Continuing with this second post I want to talk about the drugs that can influence this disease.
There is an amazing variety of things that can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction (ED). Some are psychological. Others are diet or lifestyle choices.
Keep reading, and if you see anything on this list you are currently taking, consult your doctor to see if there is an alternative that can meet the same goal, but without the side effects related to erectile dysfunction.
Medications for blood pressure
This is important. If you have high blood pressure, which is very common among people with coronary artery disease (CAD), then you are almost certainly taking some type of pressure medication.
If you had erectile dysfunction before you started taking blood pressure medications, it is almost certain that these will make the situation worse. If you did not have D.E. Previously, can often cause the disease to arise. Luckily there are (some) alteratives that you could try.
Antidepressants
Talk to your doctor. Perhaps there is an alternative you can try, but it would be best to find a way to treat your depression that does not require a prescription.
Of course, this is not always possible. In any case, do not stop taking the medicines. Always seek the advice of a medical professional.
Antihistamines
Allergies are not fun. They can make your life impossible. Of course, the inability to have sex can also make your life quite miserable, so this is again a double edged sword.
Honey, from a local source near where you live, for example, is an excellent way to boost immunity to allergy. Keep in mind that honey has some health risks for young children, so this is not a decision you should make for yourself without consulting a doctor.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Analgesics such as Naproxen and Indocin can often worsen erectile dysfunction. These drugs rarely cause the disease, but if you already have it, you will notice a big difference when you take them.
Keep in mind that muscle relaxants like Flexeril and Norflex also contribute tremendously, but in this case, they can actually cause erectile dysfunction in some men.
Antiarrhythmics
If you take a medicine called disopyramide (also known as Norpace), it may make your DRE worse, and may, in some cases, generate it.
Histamine H2 receptor antagonists
They are medicines like Tagamet, Axid and Zantac. If you take any of these for stomach or digestive problems, they could make your D.E. However, these drugs almost never generate the disease.
Medicine for the treatment of Parkinson's disease
Almost all major medications currently in use to treat Parkinson's disease, including Biperiden, Benztropine, Trihexyphenidyl, Procyclidine, Bromocriptine, Levodopa, and their generic equivalents can often cause erectile dysfunction.
But I repeat, always ask your doctor before making any decisions about it.
Medications for prostate cancer
If you take Flutamide, Eulexin, Leuprolide, or Lupron, you will probably notice problems with your sexual performance. If you had D. E. before you started taking them, they will certainly make the disease worse.
Note that this is also true in the case of chemotherapy drugs such as Busulfan, Myleran, Cyclophosphamide, and Citoxan. However, these medications are essential for your health, so you are unlikely to have many options, except see if your doctor can recommend a drug for erectile dysfunction in addition to these.
The good news is that there are, at least in many cases, alternatives that your doctor can prescribe. But in cases like these, never make any changes to your prescriptions without first consulting with your doctor.
