I'm looking to find ways to reduce my sexual desires and I'm wondering if there are any medications available for this. Could you provide some guidance on this issue?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's important to approach concerns about sexual desire with care. Medications like anti-androgens or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be prescribed in certain cases to help reduce sexual drive, but these should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. I recommend discussing your concerns with a doctor who can provide a personalized treatment plan.

View allI'm a bit worried about the medication my GP prescribed. They've suggested I take Lonazep .5 every day for a month, plus Lonazep .25 in the morning for 10 days. I'm just concerned about whether this will cause any addiction or if I'll experience withdrawal symptoms when I stop. Does this sound okay to you?

I'm struggling with intimacy and it's impacting my relationship. My boyfriend believes I might be involved with colleagues or others, which isn't the case. I'm really unsure what to do next. Should I talk to a mental health professional or someone else about this? I could really use some advice.
Duonase nasal spray contains fluticasone and azelastine. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid, which can be immunosuppressive at high doses or prolonged use. However, the immunosuppressive effects of fluticasone are typically associated with systemic use, not topical nasal sprays. Using Duonase nasal spray for 5 months as directed is unlikely to significantly suppress the immune system or prevent HIV antibody production. It's essential to consult an HIV specialist or a healthcare professional for personalized advice on HIV testing and treatment. Please consult the product label or manufacturer's guidelines for specific information on Duonase nasal spray.
