Hi,

The medication Alprex (Alprazolam) is used to treat anxiety and sleep issues and is not recommended for treating primary hypertension. Both Alprex and Nexium will not cause erectile dysfunction. However, other factors like atherosclerosis, low testosterone, other medications, depression, spinal problems should be ruled out.

Also, limit alcohol intake. And avoid smoking if you do so. Exercise regularly. Please be advised to follow up with your primary provider for detailed evaluation to identify an underlying cause for erectile dysfunction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal,
