Most adults take at least one prescription medication, such as for high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, depression, asthma, diabetes, COPD, or a variety of other reasons. However, most people (and many healthcare providers) are completely unaware that medications can have direct negative effects on sexual functioning and performance. This informative and timely book, written by three well-known medications experts, explores the chemistry behind sexual arousal in men and women and clearly and authoritatively explains how the common categories of prescription and over-the-counter medications and abused substances might be the reason for their declining sexual performance or even interest.

The authors of this book, who are all highly respected medications experts, have extensive experience in the field of sexual health and function. They have conducted extensive research on the effects of medications on sexual function and performance and have written this book to provide a comprehensive and accessible guide for both patients and healthcare providers.

The book begins by providing an overview of the chemistry behind sexual arousal in men and women. It explains the different mechanisms that are involved in sexual response and how medications can interfere with these mechanisms. The authors then discuss the common categories of prescription and over-the-counter medications that can affect sexual function and performance, including antidepressants, antihistamines, blood pressure medications, and anti-anxiety medications.

The authors also explore the effects of abused substances on sexual function and performance. They discuss the potential risks and dangers of drug abuse, including the effects on the brain and the body, and how it can lead to declining sexual performance and interest.

Throughout the book, the authors provide clear and concise explanations of the scientific research that has been conducted on the effects of medications on sexual function and performance. They use examples and case studies to illustrate their points and make the information more accessible and relatable.

In addition to providing information about the effects of medications on sexual function and performance, the book also offers practical advice for patients and healthcare providers. It provides tips on how to communicate with your healthcare provider about your sexual health and function, how to choose the right medication for your needs, and how to minimize the potential side effects of medications on your sexual health.

Overall, this book is an essential resource for anyone who is interested in learning more about the effects of medications on sexual function and performance. It is written in a clear and accessible style, and it provides valuable information for both patients and healthcare providers. I highly recommend it to anyone who is concerned about their sexual health and function and wants to learn more about how medications can affect them.
