Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
I would liketo know few more information like
1. What is your age?
2. Since when you are facing this issue?
Tazlac am contains telmisartan 80 mg, amlodipine 5 mg. One of the uncommon side effect of telmisartan is impotence. This might be responsible for your erection issue. Replacing that agent with other will help in reducing your problem. You should consult your physician and get yourself examined and can ask for alternative drug.
Hope this helps.
