Hello
You didn't mention your age and disease for which this drug was advised ?
Metpure-XL is a beta blockers metoprolol and it causes sexual dysfunction and impotence ( this is the side effect but this is a minor side effect and it decreases sex but very low )but in your case disease or tension of disease may be responsible for low sexual desire .
However to some extent low desire may be due to metoprolol .
As it is advised for patient having angina pectoris, hypertension, stable symptomatic heart failure and as adjunct in hyperthyroidism .
At present in my opinion don't think about sex matters ( if your age is >50 years ) ,think about the benefits caused by this medicine .
Alternatively consult a psychiatrist and get his opinion but before any medicine consult your treating physician as this is most important point in this case.
Good luck.
