Q: Can 5mg of Altace a day affect my sex drive?

A: Blood pressure medications are notorious for having sexual side effects. These include a decreased sex drive, impotence, and difficulty achieving orgasm. According to Gold Standard, Inc. 2007, a decreased sex drive is not listed as an adverse reaction to Altace. However, different people respond differently to medications. You should discuss this with your doctor to see if changing medication improves your situation.
