Can Medication For High Cholesterol And BP Cause Decreased Libido?
Question: I am 78 years old and am on both medications for high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
The meds I am on are: Brilinta, Bisoprolol, Amlodopine, Lisinopril, Indomethacin, and Crestor, plus Levitra as required.
I underwent angioplasty almost a year ago, and have a stent in my right cardiac artery.
Are any of my meds contributing to decreased libido?

Brief Answer:
Bisoprolol probably
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
some of them may cause such problems like bisoprolol, crestor and lisinopril. Also when taking antihypertensive medications, a low blood pressure may contribute to decreased ability for erections.
The most common cause in cases like yours is bisoprolol (if the drugs cause the problem).
I hope you find my comments helpful!
You can contact me again, if you'd like any clarification or further information.
Kind Regards!
