Older men\nhave higher chances of being on one kind of medication or another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And there are times when it&#8217;s the medication that&#8217;s causing the\nsexual problem. Studies show that as many as 25% of erectile dysfunction cases\namong older men are due to the medication they are taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"banner vm-80\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-md-12 text-center\">\n            <figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/banner_award.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block banner_award\" alt=\"Money Back Guaranteed Male Enhancement Pills - Male UltraCore 2019 Award\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-md-6\"><figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/21c-box.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Not Sold At GNC Male UltraCore Box and Bottle\"><\/figure><\/figure><\/div>\n        <div>\n            <ul>\n                <li>100% Money Back<\/li>\n                <li>Free Rushed Shipping<\/li>\n                <li>Change Your Sex Life<\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n\n            <div class=\"text-center\">\n                <a href=\"\/order\" class=\"btn btn-order-now\">ORDER NOW<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/secure-logos2.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block secure_logos\" alt=\"Not Sold At GNC Male UltraCore Secure Site Logos\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:27px\" class=\"has-background has-secondary-background-color\"><strong>Types of Medications That May Cause Impotence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are actually several classes of medications that are associated\nwith a high incidence of impotence and other sexual dysfunction. These are\nusually the types of medications that affect your hormones, your\nneurotransmitters, as well as your blood vessels and blood circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Antidepressants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People with major\ndepressive disorder tend to have low levels of serotonin, and certain\nantidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs help to increase the amount of\nbioavailable serotonin to reduce their depression symptoms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately,\nserotonin is an inhibitor of sexual arousal and behavior, which means that the\nhigher your serotonin levels are, the more likely your libido and erectile\nfunction will be impaired. The positive thing about antidepressants is that by\nreducing sexual arousal, they may help men who suffer from premature\nejaculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of\nantidepressants and other psychiatric medicines that are known to cause adverse\nsexual effects include amoxapine, buspirone, clomipramine, diazepam,\nfluoxetine, lorazepam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Blood pressure\nmedication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because high blood\npressure means you have a problem with your blood vessels and blood flow, it\nusually goes hand in hand with erectile dysfunction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, impotent\nmen have a higher likelihood of developing high blood pressure, and those with\nhypertension likewise tend to develop erectile dysfunction. There are actually\nseveral types of blood pressure medications, although they all help lower the\nblood pressure inside your blood vessels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/What-Medications-Can-Make-You-Impotent-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"blood pressure apparatus and medication\" class=\"wp-image-2250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/What-Medications-Can-Make-You-Impotent-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/What-Medications-Can-Make-You-Impotent-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/What-Medications-Can-Make-You-Impotent-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/What-Medications-Can-Make-You-Impotent.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the various\ntypes of prescription medications for high blood pressure, beta-blockers,\nalpha-blockers, and diuretics are the ones that are known for their adverse\nsexual effects. These medications reduce the flow of blood to your sex organ as\nwell as increase your body&#8217;s excretion of zinc which you need for normal sexual\nfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Anti-seizure\nmedications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Benzodiazepines are\nusually prescribed for a number of conditions including seizures, anxiety,\nmuscle spasms, and insomnia. These medications have sedative effects and they\nalso relax your muscles, which may then lead to reduced sexual desire and\nerectile dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Anti-ulcer\nmedications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re suffering\nfrom GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease, you may have taken H2 blockers in\nthe past. Sometimes referred to as H2-receptor antagonists, H2 blockers are typically\nprescribed for various gastrointestinal disorders including peptic ulcers,\ngastric ulcers, and GERD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cimetidine,\nranitidine, famotidine, and nizatidine may cause reduced libido, lower sperm\ncount, erectile dysfunction, and even breast enlargement, especially if you&#8217;ve\nbeen taking these medications at high doses for a long time. Cimetidine,\nhowever, is associated with more severe adverse sexual effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:27px\" class=\"has-background has-secondary-background-color\"><strong>Dealing with Erectile Dysfunction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These prescription medications are essential for treating your\ncondition, and even if you have a problem with your medicine interfering with\nyour sexual function, it&#8217;s always best to discuss it with your doctor first\nbefore you stop taking these medications or switching to a different one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while you&#8217;re discussing this with your healthcare provider,\nyou may also want to bring up sex enhancement supplements as an option to help\nmanage your sexual dysfunction. Although doctors usually don&#8217;t advise taking\nmale enhancement pills, there are natural supplements like fenugreek that are\nknown to be safe and effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s great about fenugreek is that it&#8217;s not just good for your\nerectile function or your testosterone levels. The herb is actually widely used\nin the kitchen as a culinary ingredient, but it has also been scientifically\ntested to help improve insulin sensitivity, as well as lower cholesterol\nlevels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, if you&#8217;re both diabetic and you have high cholesterol\nlevels, which are both known as risk factors for impotence, you can greatly\nbenefit from fenugreek supplements. Plus, since the herb has aromatase\ninhibitory effects, it can also help increase your free testosterone levels,\nwhich is another reason why the herb is considered an aphrodisiac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from fenugreek, scientifically tested sex enhancement\nsupplements include Tribulus terrestris, Tongkat Ali, maca, and Ashwagandha.\nMaca is actually a vegetable and it belongs to the same family as broccoli. If\nyou&#8217;re hesitant about taking maca supplements, just think of it as adding\nanother vegetable to your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that maca has so many pro-sexual benefits. It can\nhelp improve your sex drive and enhance your erectile function, plus it can\nrelieve your anxiety and stress symptoms. In addition, you can also get a great\nenergy boost when you take maca, which means you&#8217;ll have more energy for some\nintense bedroom action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-1024x315.jpg\" alt=\"Risk Free 100 Percent Money Back Guaranteed Testosterone Booster Enhancement Supplements\" class=\"wp-image-1753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-1024x315.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-600x184.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-300x92.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-768x236.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\" class=\"btn btn-order-now\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certain medications are notorious for their adverse sexual effects.
