Hello
You are advised to take gliclazide + metformin as an anti diabetic ,while lipid lowering agents are rosuvastatin and fenofibrate .
All these medicine don't causes any loss of libido and never causes ejaculation dysfunction.
However , diabetes in itself sometimes produces these problems .
While other possibility of sexual weakness may be hyper cholestrolaemia .
So diabetes , hypercholestrolaemia may be the reason of such symptoms .
For this consult a psychiatrist and get his opinion as these both symptoms are curable .
But take you prescribed tablet as advised by your physician .
Good luck.
