Hello,
Your doctor must be reluctant to prescribe it to you because of the above mentioned side effects. Also impotence and decreased libido may occur in patients treated with this drug.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Thank you.
The doc I met is a specialist in this and he said that he does not give this medicine for people who are over 50 years old.
Could you tell why ? I didn't ask.
Thank you again.
Jack
