Has any male out there had a penile dysfunction dis-order from using the drug Lisinopril?

Question

I have been told that this drug can cause impotence.

Answer 1

ACE inhibitors work by blocking the action of a compound in the body called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE). Normally ACE produces another compound called angiotensin II, as part of the body's natural control of blood pressure. Angiotensin II has two actions. Firstly, it causes blood vessels to constrict and narrow, and secondly, it reduces the production of urine by the kidneys. Both these actions increase the pressure within the blood vessels.

As lisinopril blocks the action of ACE, it reduces the production of angiotensin II. This means that the blood vessels are allowed to relax to widen and more urine is produced by the kidneys. The overall effect of this is a drop in blood pressure.

The reduced pressure within the blood vessels means that the heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump the blood around the body. This is why ACE inhibitors can be used to improve the symptoms of heart failure, where the heart is not pumping as efficiently, and to improve survival following a heart attack.

Lisinopril is can cause the following side effects, most of which are due to the drop in blood pressure.

cough
dizziness
headache
excessive tiredness
upset stomach
diarrhea
weakness
sneezing
runny nose
decrease in sexual ability**
rash

I would talk to your doctor if you are experiencing or if you concerned about any of these side effects.
