Could Erection Problems Be The Side Effect Of Terbinafine Hydrochloride?
I took terbinafine hydrochloride for a period of 10 days. I had problems getting erections around day 6. I feared that the tablet could be the reason for that and I stopped taking tthe tablet. It has been 5 days since I stopped, but I could not see much improvement again.

Hello,
I will like to ask you if you have a depressed feeling or a feeling of low mood. there is some indirect relation of terbinfine with mood disorders which can lead to decreased sexual drive. If you stop taking this medication ,look if problem solves. if not you need to proceed with hormonal profile like testosterone, FSH and LH.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
