Research Notes on Antihistamines and Erectile Dysfunction
Antihistamines are listed as drugs that can possibly cause erectile dysfunction. As a side effect to treating a cough or allergy, antihistamines can affect hormones, the central nervous system, or blood circulation, resulting in erectile dysfunction. Brand names of antihistamines that may cause erectile dysfunction include Dramamine, Benadryl, Vistaril, Antivert, and Phenergan.1
Fast Facts:
- Consult a physician if you believe you have erectile dysfunction caused by antihistamine use.2
- This condition can be treated by discontinuing antihistamine use, by using erectile dysfunction medicine, or with hormonal therapy.2
- Erectile dysfunction may also be caused by diuretics, antidepressants, certain anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants.1
- Erectile dysfunction may also be caused by recreational or abused drugs such as alcohol, cocaine, marijuana, nicotine, or opiates.1
