Decreased Libido: This is a common side effect. Regular exercise, stress management techniques like yoga or meditation, and open communication with your partner can help. Your doctor may also suggest alternative treatments.
Erectile Dysfunction: Discuss this with your doctor. They may adjust your dosage or suggest alternative medications. Lifestyle changes, including a healthier diet and increased physical activity, can also be beneficial.
