Can Allergy Medications Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
Yes, certain over-the-counter antihistamines like diphenhydramine or loratadine may cause temporary ED by interfering with hormone levels and reducing blood flow. They can also make you feel sedated, lowering arousal and interest during intimacy.
Watch for These Effects
- Dryness, fatigue, low desire
- Delayed or weak erections
- Mood swings or irritability
What to Do
Try non-sedating allergy treatments, or reduce dosage under guidance. Add natural ED boosters if symptoms persist.
