Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I need your comments on the medications that affect libido. Mention some common drugs, such as antidepressants and birth control pills that can affect the sex drive.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Antidepressants and antipsychotic medication are known to decrease libido, causing low sex desire.
