How does Concor affect potency - what a man needs to know?

The beta-1-blocker bisoprolol is sold under the name Concor. On the domestic market, it can be found under its "own" name. The effect of Concor on potency in men is the ability of adrenergic blockers to reduce desire and potency.

The lion's share of changes occurring in the body during arousal is associated with the action of adrenaline.

With atherosclerosis of 3 degrees and higher, coronary artery disease, heart attack, his bursts are fraught with crisis and death, as a result of which doctors prescribe this kind of drugs. However, given the inevitable inhibition of potency for all adrenergic blockers, cardiology is in no hurry to use them until the age of 50.

What is this drug?

With each passing year, the average blood pressure in most adults grows, atherosclerosis becomes more noticeable.

Adrenergic blockers, along with diuretics and statins (interfere with cholesterol metabolism, preventing the deposition of new plaques) form the basis of drug therapy:

• atherosclerosis;
• coronary artery disease;
• myocardial infarction;
• stroke.

They are selective, and affect the same type of receptors that are sensitive to adrenaline. And the non-selective suppress them all. Concor belongs to the first. It affects only the group conventionally named b1, but when the recommended dosages are exceeded, it also affects the b2 receptors.

Concor is more preferable if you need to maintain maximum potency, physical strength and endurance, and other body functions that are affected by the hormone. Non-selective blockers are bad for their general decrease along with the main action.

Representatives of this series of drugs are prescribed to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. Concor tablets affect the cells of the myocardium, "reconcile" them with a deficiency of nutrients and oxygen, which has arisen due to the obstruction of the vessels feeding it. The rate of contraction of the ventricles of the heart decreases along with the pressure, the characteristic ischemic pain behind the sternum disappears.

Side effects of Concor for men

The drug affects the body of a woman and a man in the same way. The only difference is that in the former, the functions regulated by adrenaline play a less obvious role for others in life - as the physiology of sexual life, which does not depend on their desire. IMPORTANT: the younger the patient is taking adrenergic blockers, the more noticeable their effect on his potency.

Concor is indicated for chronic heart failure, but it is not used for acute. It is also contraindicated in bronchospasm and psoriasis, along with antidepressants related to MAO inhibitors (isocarboxazid, Tranylcypromine, Selegilin, Metralindol, Moclobemide, etc.). Side effects for men from Concor also include:

• sleepiness, fatigue, depression;
• migraine, insomnia, dizziness, especially during the breathing stages;
• dry eyes and conjunctivitis provoked by it;
• swelling of the limbs, their numbness and "goosebumps";
• constipation or vice versa, diarrhea, intestinal cramps, hepatitis, nausea;
• cramps, arthritis and arthrosis of the joints (with prolonged use) due to muscle fiber atrophy;
• sweating, skin rash and itching.

In diabetics, Concor often impairs insulin metabolism, provoking hypoglycemia. It can also cause alopecia (accelerated baldness), auditory hallucinations, and negatively affect the rate of weight gain.

Effect on potency: decreases or increases

Selective adrenergic blockers are considered safer in terms of the threats they pose to erections in men. The non-selective are more aggressive in this regard. This effect is more widespread and more pronounced in them.

But when talking about adrenergic blockers and their choice, we are always talking only about the frequency and degree of manifestation. The fact of their negative influence on male power and desire is beyond doubt - it is always observed with varying degrees of brightness. The "fear hormone" forms most of the functions necessary for intercourse in patients of both sexes. At the same time, a woman can successfully complete it in the complete absence of arousal, and in men, the oppression of desire makes intimacy impossible, which is due to the need for an erection for the introduction of the penis into the vagina.

Cases of impotence provoked by Concor have already been observed, and a warning about such a possibility is included in the instructions for him. But their percentage when taking it is much lower than that of other drugs in this series. There are also examples of improving the filling of the penis with blood in men, whose difficulties in their personal life were provoked by high blood pressure and atherosclerosis. It is assumed that Concor's lack of a negative effect on potency is due to its ability to purposefully block not all b1-receptors, but mainly that part of them that is located in the myocardium and blood vessels.

Could a drug cause erectile dysfunction?

Adrenergic blockers affect potency in a negative way due to:

• decreased desire for sex (no stimulation of the pleasure centers of the cortex);
• a decrease in the concentration of testosterone in the blood and muscles (adrenaline also regulates its production in the adrenal glands and testes).

The level of the main hormone during their use decreases gradually, and in the ability to provoke testosterone-deficient erectile dysfunction, adrenergic blockers, intended for long courses - from six months, are more "noticed". Apparently, Concor affects potency in two ways, precisely because of its belonging to "long-term" remedies.

In the first months of admission for cardiovascular pathologies, it only weakens their symptoms and consequences. This gives hypertensive patients the opportunity to have sex longer and better because of the disappearance of pain in the heart, shortness of breath, restoration of peripheral blood flow. Subsequently, the inhibition of testosterone synthesis by Concor may affect.

Plus, adrenergic blockers are not pure medicine. They are only postponing the inevitable new crisis. This scheme with leveling the action of adrenaline cannot "play" endlessly. It does not eliminate the cause of the pathology (narrowing of the lumen of blood vessels by cholesterol deposits) and does not prevent further aging of the circulatory system. Hence, the secondary deterioration of the patient's condition in the period from a year from the start of therapy.
