Ed With Zocor

My husband suddenly developed ED after being on 40 mg of zocor for 3 weeks. He wanted me to ask if anyone else had experienced this and if so, did you find a remedy.

Re: Ed With Zocor

I'm not sure I have the solution to that problem, but I see how it is possible for Zocor to have such an effect. Cholesterol is needed in order to manufacture many hormones, including sex hormones. By artificially lowering cholesterol, the production of these hormones can also be diminished, particularly if cholesterol is lowered significantly.

Re: Ed With Zocor

jean,

The more likely cause is any of the high blood pressure meds. Is he on any of THEM?

Zip2play,

She did say that the problem started just 3 weeks after taking 40mg Zocor.

no blood pressure medicine - he does not have high blood pressure and recently underwent thallium stress test which was normal.
