Can sartan improve sexual function?


Healing hearts, one patient at a time.
Valsartan itself has no effect on improving sexual function. Valsartan is an antihypertensive drug, belonging to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. It has the effect of dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. It is mainly used to treat hypertension clinically. It has no great impact on sexual function, and will not cause impotence and premature ejaculation. It also has no effect on improving sexual function. However, if the patient has high blood pressure, the high blood pressure itself may cause peripheral neuropathy, which may affect the quality of sexual life. After the medication actively controls the blood pressure, the peripheral neuropathy will also be improved, and the quality of sexual life may be relatively improved. However, this improvement is caused by the control of blood pressure, not by the drug Belsartan.
