What BP meds does not have sexual side effects?
Hello everyone. I had sexual side effects from taking Metoprolol Tartrate. Are there any BP meds that I can take that do not cause these effects? I have heard of some that I could speak to my doctor about. But I wanted to ask here to see what advice I get from this forum. Thanks so much.

Hi,
How are you? Aside from hypertension, Metoprolol may be indicated for migraine and angina as well as treatment of heart failure. There are many types of high blood medications and Metoprolol belongs to the beta blockers. Indeed, these can cause a variety of side effects including diminished in sex drive as well as impotence. However, there are many factors to consider in determining the most suitable type of drug for you such as your medical history, presence of other co-morbid conditions, and overall health. While there are plenty of antihypertensives in the market like calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, or alpha blockers, diuretics, vasodilators, among others, to choose from, they may not be indicated considering your medical history and the factors that have mentioned. It is best that you talk to your doctor about this for proper management. Also, when stopping metoprolol, tapering of the dose is usually done to prevent adverse effects. Take care and do keep us posted.
