Can medicines cause sexual orgasm problems?

Answer:

All medicines have side effects and some also on the sexual function or perception. It is sometimes hard to determine what the real cause is. Is it the disease for which the medication is used, the medication itself or the sick person who reacts in his/her own way to the disease? That the medication has a certain influence is most probable when:
  • The side effects begin immediately after the start of the therapy.
  • The sexual disorder didn't exist before the therapy.
  • The problem stops after suspending the use of the medicine and.
  • The problem returns after starting to use the medicine again.
