I am on standard care for high BP through my GP. I am also using Cozaar for the BP specifically because it has been shown to potentially decrease fibrosis, and have some effect on ED, and mood!

By taking this particular class of BP drugs, you may be able to 'kill two birds with one stone', or three or four even!
