Suggest Remedy For Low Sex Drive
my husband is on Altace for his high blood pressure and over the last couple of years since we've been together he has little to no desire to have sex. He doesn't think about it and he doesn't last very long anymore. Is it the medicine he's on? and if so is there an alternative medicine he can take that won't effect his sex drive? it's frustrating to both of us and it's beginning to become a problem in our marriage.

hi,
i understand the problem you both are facing. as he is having low desire, get him evaluate for testosteron level also. As you mentioned , loss of libido (decrease sexual drive) is less common side effect of ramipril (altace). you can ask your treating doctor to evaluate him for sexual dysfunction.
hope it will help you to decide further course of action.
thanks.
