Question: Good morning,
I am a male, 48 years old and have been diagnosed with HSV-2. I am currently taking valcyclovir 1000mg daily as suppressive therapy. I have been experiencing in my opinion severe erectile dysfunction on more than 1 occasion. Could valtrex or the daily dosage of valtrex be a cause?
Also, was diagnosed with HSV-2 (7) years ago and during this time frame have experienced erectile dysfunction since then. Doctors have prescribed me Viagra and Cialis during this course but now the Viagra and Cialis have become ineffective.
