What Causes Erectile Dysfunction After Started Taking Bisoprolol?
Hello
Started taking the druc Bisoprolo (Ziac) approx 10 months ago and am now having problems with ED. I have no problem getting a erection at the start of having sex with my wife, but after about 5 minutes, I am no longer able to maintain the erection? I am 53 years old and never had any kind of ED problems in the past. Been reading articles saying Bisiprolol is a Beta Blocker and this could be a symptom. My fear is that if this is the case...is this permanent or if I stop taking this medication...will I be able to get and maintain the erection after stopping the medication. Please help as this is causing problems in my marriage as my wife thinks this is because I am no longer attracted to her which is in no way true....Thank You !

Hi welcome to HCM...
Yes you are right....Beta blocker drugs like bisoprolol can lead erectile dysfunction ..
If you have high blood pressure or heart problem then drug should not be stopped ...
Instead consult physician if possible to switch over to alternate drug apart from thiazide diuretic and beta blocker....
Here also investigate for diabetics, heart disease, obesity , surgery history, radiation history, prostate problem etc....
For this problem sildenafil is good drug...that can be taken 30 minute before ejeculation...
Be relax during sex and fore play practise more.
Do sex in comfortable position....
Sex therapy counselling session useful....
Healthy and balanced diet taken with avoidence if stress....
Consult physician or psychiatrist for your examination....
Take care
