Hi
Thanks for using health care magic.
Blood pressure lowering agent can cause erectile dysfunction as a side effect depending upon the agent used. Drugs specially beta blocker can have this side effect. You can ask your doctor to change the antihypertensive drugs you are taking currently. If even this does not work, then drugs like phosphodiesterase inhibitor can be tried with consultation with your physician. Hope it will help you. Thanks
