Does Eritel Ch 40 Tablet Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Shift from chlorthaliadone to amlodipine!
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Firstly thanks for choosing health care magic for your query !
tablet eritel ch contains a combination of two salts telmisartan and chlorthaliadone.
Chlorthaliadone is a thiazide group of diuretic , most commonly encountered side effect of long term use of thiazide is sexual dysfunction, loss of libido and difficulty in getting a erection, the changes are reversible.
Ask your cardiologist to shift you from chlorthaliadone to amlodipine ,amlodipine is a dihydropyridine group of calcium channel blocker.Its a very safe antihypertensive ,with no effects on sexual function.
Your cardiologist can shift you from Eritel ch to amlodipine 5mg to 10mg once daily dose ,depending on your blood pressure.
Once shifted to amlodipine ,your problem will be resolved in 2-3 weeks.
In case you have any other query feel free to ask!
Thank you,

Secondly, Is it the only reason fir deterioration in saxual function as sometimes errection is good enough but mostly I encountered problem of poor errection.
Does age of 45 yrs matters? Kindly suggest.

Things will be better in 2-3 weeks!
Detailed Answer:
Hi again ,
You should start with Amlodipine 5mg for 14days monitor your blood pressure every 5th day so that doses could be increased or decreased as per the response of your body.
45 is not a age of sexual dysfunction in males normally, however if things don't improve after 3 weeks ,Tab Tadalafil can be taken to improve erections.
