Erectile dysfunction is often linked to a health-related problem, but could a medication used to treat another condition or disease be negatively affecting our sexual health? When experiencing frustration with erectile dysfunction (also known as ED), defined as not being able to obtain or maintain an erection, it is important to investigate the medicine cabinet for the potential cause.If you are suffering from erectile dysfunction, consider using GAINSWave® therapy to help you get back to a healthy sexual life.The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases explains several drugs, which may cause erectile dysfunction, are prescribed to help us with our vascular, nervous and endocrine system.(1) While we know our bodies work as a collective unit we may not understand how in treating one condition or disease it could harm a different biological pathway altogether. This prompted the thought that some medicines we commonly used to treat blood pressure, depression, and even attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be affecting our sexual health as well.If we know not much as changed in our daily lives situationally (ex.

With a participant study of 90 hypertensive men, they compared lisinopril to another common drug, Atenolol. Their findings resulted in high amounts of sexual dissatisfaction in the Atenolol group but not in the lisinopril group.(2) This resulted in lisinopril being a better blood pressure medication for sexual health.These studies help alleviate concern of treating high blood pressure without lisinopril erectile dysfunction!Losartan and EDLosartan much like Lisinopril is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. It also is used in treatment for kidney disease patients whom also have diabetes. Losartan is classified as a Angiotensin II receptor blocker.
