A member asked:

Is it true most of the medicine for high pressure and depression will make men impotence?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and no: Some medication that treat high blood pressure can cause sexual side effects. It is important to discuss this with your physician so that a medication without this side effect can be chosen. Most of the medications that treat depression can cause delayed ejaculation in males. This side effect tends to go away after a few weeks.
