Genital Herpes Medicine Side Affects10/14/2009 |
PLEASE TELL ME IF A MAN TAKING DAILY PILLS FOR ONE & A HALF YRS. FOR GENITAL HERPES CAN CAUSE HIS SEXDRIVE TO DEMINISH?
Without the name of the medication he is taking, I cannot answer this question with a high degree of certainty.
However, the treatment that seems to fit your description is most likely valacyclovir (Valtrex). I am unable to find any resource linking valacyclovir with a diminished sex drive.
