Can Celepram 20mgs Cause Erectile Dysfunction And Headache?
Good afternoon Dr
I visited my GP this morning as l was on 20mgs of Celepram and l'm experiencing trouble keeping an erection which is upsetting for me and my wife. The Doctor lowered my dose to 10mgs and he advised me that there is a 2.8% of males experience this problem. I walked out of the consultation feeling like l hadn't been informed of my issue in a satisfactory manner and was told to come back in a month.
I have read litracture on the side affects as l also experience head aches often.
dr, could you please enlighten me more on this issue please?, l'm a 54 year old male living in Australia.
Regards, Wayne.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks for your query.
Celepram is known to cause headache, reduced libido and erectile dysfunction in some individuals. Usually, reducing the dose resolves the problems.
If your problems persist with lower dose (10mg) of Celepram, consult your doctor and request him to switch over to an equally effective substitute.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
Take care
Dr. Rakesh Karanwal

It is not elepram but cetalopram20mg, it is used to treat depression. It has many side effect and one is sexual. But it is not an alarming problem. in which you have to inform doctor are agitation, sleeplesnes ,irregular heartbeatlackof imotion Dificulty incontro ling urination. migrain abnormal head posteur etc Since your problem ir not serious, you should not be much worried. Best is to get rid of the drug. only way out is nturopathy yoga meditation. Ihope this will help you.
