Medications and Sexual Side Effects

A lot of medications have sexual side effects. Are you aware of them? .
.
For example, ladies, if you have allergies -antihistamines will dry out your nasal passages but they will also dry you out down there 👇. For this, there’s a quick fix - awareness and lube. For others, there may not be. A lot of anti depressants will impact sexual desire and arousal. .

When starting any new medication - ask your doctor about the sexual side effects. And if they are something you’re not comfortable with, ask if there are alternative options. Be aware, be your own advocate. Sexual health is part of mental and physical health and it matters.
