1260320 tn?1270394906 Benicar keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Benicar HCT has a diuretic included as well. I have been fortunate, Benicar has worked from the first day I took it and works well still today. My 90 day average BP is 108/67 down from 135/85 when I started. I have had no side effects as well, the best of both worlds!

478554 tn?1208034407 You are correct, Benicar is an expensive drug, I am on 40 mg per day with 12.5 of HCT (Benicar HCT). Since there is no generic, my insurance also tries to block it's use, but they have to give it to you if your doctor provides the additional documentation, but it won't help the price. TGL's are easy to control, usually cutting back on empty carbs like those found in breads, pastas, sugars and processed foods will have a huge impact.

My blood pressure was running around 140/85 at the time. I underwent some cardiac work ups due to some chest pain over that time period including a couple of Nuclear Stress Tests and Echos along with all the blood work that is usually done, all tests were always normal.

Avatar m tn If you do have erectile dysfunction, your doctor may prescribe viagra, cialis or levitra to help you maintain and achieve a full erection BUT those medicine only works if you're sexually excited in the brain. In other words, if you're still worrying about your sexual performance, the medicine may not work. Another thing that is slowly on the rise informational wise and causes erectile dysfunction is over-masturbation.

Avatar m tn just to name a few. Anxiety and stress play an important role in the development of erectile dysfunction; and is the most common possible cause. At a primary level, I would suggest being a bit relaxed and working on the psychological factors with your partner. You could also see a psychotherapist/ behavioral therapist for the same. It might also be beneficial to get rid of factors like smoking/ alcohol/ drugs, if involved.
Avatar n tn Cialis is a drug for erectile dysfunction. Is that what you mean? It's used for someone who has the desire but not the physical ability to get an erection readily when they are excited. I guess that someone who takes Cialis could use it either with a partner or alone, though the television commercials for it always show some guy looking happily at a partner.

Avatar m tn As is, the topic combinations of erectile dysfunction, gay, Catholic, sex, and politics made for just a really uncomfortable experience that still has me feeling like I swallowed a brick a day after the fact. Can anyone tell me what kind of questions are normal in a meeting with a doctor about erectile dysfunction? Does the fact that I went to a doctor about erectile dysfunction stay on my medical record?

Avatar f tn As a matter of fact I loss my libido and got an erectile dysfunction due to Serenoa Repens, and my tests in every other area are perfect. Who knows how the serenoa repens is metabolized? how can you cure this adverse effects? A doctor prescribed a testosterone shot, will that work?
Avatar n tn t think your BP meds would do this. I too had HP, around 150/90 and started taking Benicar HCt 40/12.5, pretty much the same med you are on. My BP now runs 110/70, in fact it dropped almost immediately upon starting the meds with no side effects. Your BP has dropped considerably, but at 130 systolic you are still in the pre-hypertensive range and not yet down to a normal rate of 120/80 so I would not think your BP is doing this to you.
