Does taking valsartan affect sexual function

Valsartan does not usually have an effect on sexual function. Patients with hypertension are usually middle-aged and elderly, and there are very many reasons for sexual dysfunction, such as poorly controlled hypertension and the diminished sexual function of middle-aged and elderly men themselves, which may cause sexual dysfunction. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, a drug that improves blood vessels. It has been reported in the literature that valsartan improves sexual function and does not diminish sexual function. The application of valsartan is relatively safe, but of course the side effects of the drug vary from person to person, not every side effect occurs, and the incidence is very low. If you experience hypogonadism, go to a regular hospital to find the cause of the hypogonadism and get targeted treatment. There are many drugs to improve sexual function, such as 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors. As long as you find the cause of sexual dysfunction, you will be able to target treatment. You should not stop using hypertension medication because of the side effects of the medication, and you should insist on controlling your blood pressure. If the valsartan, resent or do not like to use, you can also change other drugs for treatment. In short it is very important for hypertensive patients to maintain the stability of blood pressure.
