    My doctor started me on Plavix about 6 months ago (75mlg) per day.
    Could this cause ED? Also I am taking Toprol XL, Aspirin, Glucotrol
    XL. Thank You

    Typically not.

    Toprol can cause ED, however. So can diabetes.

    Dr Chung, Thank you for the kind reply. I have been taking the Toprol
    Xl along with the Plavix for a period of 6 months. I addition I
    recently got back from a long trip where I drove my Rv about 2000
    miles to see a sick sister( that is actually when the ED was evident,
    that same night when I got back home), in addition I have been taking
    Fish Oil Supplements for about a month now. Could either of these be a
    factor ? Thank again, Danny

    I've been on Plavix for a year and on Toprol XL for 6 months. I've noticed
    that my erections are stronger than before.

    Has anyone else noticed?

    The former perhaps.

    Dr Chung,
    I am again very thankul for your quick, unbiased, unselffish reply. I
    wonder what a great world it would be if people helped others only
    because they were fellow human beings! After careful consideration I
    am writing it off to the long trip and the stress and anxiety
    associated with it. I am hopeful that given a quiet period of
    relaxation things will return to normal..

    I will be watching the thread for other comments in particular as
    concerning the Plavix as I do not want to stop it, overall I have been
    doing much better.

    I have 3 totally blocked arteries (one a former stent) and the only
    one supplying blood is the left marrary graft from 1985. I was told
    after a cath in April this year I would be better off taking drugs and
    not doing further surgery till it ws an "emergency. I have thought
    about getting a second opinion must am not sure at this point.

    I am very grateful, God Bless You...
    Danny
