What Causes Erectile Dysfunction While On Irbesartan?

Since taking Irbesartan300 mg. I am unable to obtain or maintain an erection. I am 67 years old and had no problems with an erection until I started taking this medication. Is this one of the side-effects of this medication? Can you recommend an alternate medication? Thanks

hi
thanks for using HCM.
Erectile dysfunction is one of the rare side-effects of this medication. you can wait for few days or ask for doc to change it to other drugs like calcium channel blocker. Even if this does not work then you can ask for drugs like Viagra( Sildenafil).
thanks
