Medications and Supplements Introduction:

Both prescribed and 'over-the-counter' medications are used widely in the US for ailments ranging from colds to back pain to post-surgical pain. These medications, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, can be a blessing as well as a curse. Although effective at reducing pain or treating other symptoms, as many as 400 medications are known to cause at least occasional problems with sexual desire and function. It is important to be aware of this and to ask questions about sexual side effects before taking any kind of medication.
