Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Hello,
You are facing a very common and understandable problem, and the good news is that it is treatable without compromising your chances of becoming a father.
- What is happening?
• Petril Beta (contains propranolol + clonazepam)
- Propranolol is well known to cause:
- Reduced sexual desire
- Reduced semen volume
- Erectile difficulty (in some men)
• Tentex Forte
This can increase heart rate and BP, especially in people with:
1. Anxiety
2. Existing BP issues
3. So your reaction to it is expected, and it is not ideal for you.
4. Anxiety itself also reduces libido and performance, even without medicines.

Health Tips
- Do NOT use Tentex Forte
- In your case, risks outweigh benefits
- Re-evaluate propranolol (Petril Beta)
. It is effective for anxiety but not ideal if you’re planning a baby:
- Options your doctor may consider:
- Reducing dose
- Shifting to non-beta blocker anxiety treatment
- Using medicines that do not affect libido or semen
- Address anxiety properly (not just heart rate control)
- Propranolol controls physical symptoms but does not cure anxiety
- Anxiety-focused treatment (CBT ± appropriate medication) improves:
1. Sexual desire
2. Performance
3. Confidence
. Blood pressure management
a. Telma AM is fine for BP
b. BP should be controlled independently of anxiety treatment
c. Semen analysis (optional but reassuring)
If anxiety persists about fertility, a simple semen test can reassure you
