Detailed Answer:
Hello.Delighted to be able to help.
Dont worry,ED is a very frequent problem in people your age.
Although the causes of ED are multiple,in your situation, the intake of the drug that you refer is very important.
Amphetamine derivatives are related to changes in sex drive and DE.
Your doctor should consider whether it is necessary to continue taking amphetamine derivatives;probably interrupting intake,will improve ED.
Go to your doctor to evaluate interrupt this medication or replace it by other
drug without these side effects.
I Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.If you do not have any clarifications, please don’t forget to evaluate my answer.I wish you good health.
