  • Discussion of common drug-induced sexual dysfunctions and their management.

    • Main Results:

    • Antidepressant medications, particularly those with serotonin agonist activity, frequently cause sexual dysfunction (e.g., delayed ejaculation, anorgasmia).
    • Improper use of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors is a key factor in treatment failure for erectile dysfunction.
    • Trazodone is linked to priapism, a serious adverse effect.

    Conclusions:
