Abstract
The prevalence of erectile dysfunction does not appear to be enhanced in patients using these drugs. Cimetidine therapy induced hypoandrogenism leading to erectile dysfunction and breast enlargement as described in numerous case reports and letters. Ranitidine appeared to be less effective in this respect. Results of meaningful prospective clinical studies are not available.
