My husband started taking Simvastatin about 6 weeks ago. Since taking it he has been experiencing sexual problems. Is this related to the drug? It has never been an issue before.

Dear cscald, To reply to ur question, No simvastatindoes not decrease sexual activity of anysort directly, however it must be noted that with a statin like simvastatin, you cannot mix drugs as they interfere in their pathways for metabolizing, so try a drug that does not metabolize thru the same pathway as cialis/viagra etc, I am sure there are drugs out there such as CRESTOR that do not interefe in those pathways even with grapefruit juice. So try it out and feel the difference.
