Ramipril-ga Side Effects

My husband who is 62 years old had a small heart attach in January and his cardiologist put him on Ramipril. His sex drive has gone down gradually, wondering if this drug has anything to do with it and if there is another similar one that he could take instead.

Yes, most of these types of medications that are used to treat hypertension and cardiac conditions can cause a loss of libido.

Learn more Ramipril details here.

And yes, there are actually over 100 on the market in different classes, but which all treat the same types of conditions, that he can try. So, he should just talk to his doctor about the problem and ask to try something else.

Is there anything else I can help with?
