Hello,
Most of the hypertensive drugs are potential to cause erectile dysfunction.
Metaprolol and ramipril may cause the erectile dysfunction.

If you have any symptoms of erectile dysfunction, do not stop the drugs abruptly.
Consult Your treating physician and he may be able to prescribe a different medication.

Hope this helps.
