Sex-related side effects have been ascribed to virtually all classes of drugs used to control blood pressure.

However, sexual problems aren't always the drugs’ fault. High blood pressure itself can interfere with a satisfying sex life because it can change circulatory patterns in the body and damage the inner lining of arteries, both of which may decrease blood flow to the penis and vagina.

Other problems attributed to high blood pressure or drug therapy for it include: impotence and ejaculation problems in men, painful or uncomfortable intercourse, difficulty having an orgasm in women, and lack of desire in both sexes.

If you think a blood pressure drug is affecting your sex life, you should notify their doctor. Another helpful step is to make a list of all the medications you are taking, including herbal supplements and over-the-counter drugs, and ask a pharmacist to review it. A good pharmacist can identify drugs or drug combinations that might be contributing to sexual problems.
