Question: Does the medicine Prednisone affect a male's erection.?
Hello, The doctor has prescribed me to be on prednisone and amoxcillin for a sinus and bronchitis infection combo. Will prednisone, which is a steroid for my lungs due to asthma and bronchitis, affect my erection strength and the number of erections I will have while on the medication.? ThanksHealth Question & Answer
Answers:
I had to take prednisone at one time for asthma but thankfully have not taken it for many years now. I could detect no interference with erections but it is bad medicine and should be taken only for the shortest possible time. The way my last doctor prescribed it was a burst for about ten days and then off. Previous doctor had advised a maintenance dose, ie taking it uninterruptedly. This is less desirable because it carries a greater chance of building a dependence.Health Question & Answer
