Taking Levetiracetam Due To Brain Injury. Facing Erectile Dysfunction Problem. Any Cure?
Question: im on3000 levetiracetam per day, cause of a brain inlury 7 years ago. cant get an erection help?
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Erectile dysfunction is very common. Normal erectile function depends on interaction hormonal , vascular (blood supply to the penis) , and nervous system function.
A problem with any of these can result in ED.
Some medications can cause ED, levetiracetam is not known to one of the drugs with this side effect.
The most common way used to treat ED are the phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor medications such as viagra, cialis or levitra.They work basically the same way.
There a varying doses and you can start on a low dose and increase if that dose does not work.
They are no known problems with use with your medication.
You can consider speaking to your doctor about using one of these medications.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

already taken viagra still no erection help?
If you are taking the maximum dose of viagra (a 100mg) and still have problems then it may be best to switch to another agent such as cialis.
Some men may have a low testosterone level which results in the ED and testosterone replacement may help.
If you use oral treatment with no effect, there are other options such as the use of penile injections and medications with no improvement.
