Abstract

SummaryIt is well established that hypertension and the more traditional anti-hypertensive drugs are associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). There is evidence showing that two antihypertensive drugs - doxazosin and losartan - have a positive effect on erectile function. Therefore these drugs may decrease the incidence of ED in patients who need treatment for hypertension. Doxazosinand/or losartan can also be beneficial in patients who develop ED after starting treatment with other antihypertensive drugs. These options could, in turn, ensure better compliance and blood pressure control. A fall in the overall cost of treatment will also be anticipated if there is a reduced need for drugs prescribed for ED in patients with hypertension.
