Men treated with hypolipidaemic drugs complain more frequently of erectile dysfunction

The objective of this study was to assess whether there is an association between impotence and treatment with hypolipidaemic drugs. We asked patients referred to a lipid clinic for primary hyperlipidaemia whether they were complaining of erectile dysfunction. All the patients with a previous cardiovascular history were excluded. The main cardiovascular risk factors and the treatments currently being taken were carefully recorded to analyse their association with erectile dysfunction. The population consisted of two groups (treatment group and control) of 339 age‐matched men (mean age: 48 ± 9·5 years).
