Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Sexual dysfunction is a rare side effect of fenofibrate, occurring in 0.1 to 1% of persons (1 out of 1000 to 1 out of 100).
Normal erectile function is dependent on :(1)good blood supply the the genitals, this can be compromised in high blood pressure, diabetes , high cholesterol, smoking
