My wife and I wanted to know if blood pressure pills would effect PD as well.

Thank you

Greetings to your wife and you,

Yes, there is a category of blood pressure and heart medication known as beta-blockers that have long been known to cause Peyronie's disease as a side effect.   Other drugs that can cause Peyronie's disease are interferon, used to treat multiple sclerosis, and Dilantin, used as  an anti-seizure drug.  

Here is a partial list of beta blockers:

• Acebutolol (Sectral^®)
• Atenolol (Tenormin^®)
• Betaxolol (Kerlone^®, Betoptic^®)
• Bisoprolol (Zebeta^®)
• Carteolol (Ocupress^®)
• Esmolol (Brevibloc^®)
• Nebivolol (Bystolic^®)
• Metoprolol (Lopressor^®, Toprol-XL^®)
• Penbutolol (Levatol^®)
• Pindolol (Visken^®)

If you suspect your blood pressure medication is a beta blocker you should talk to your doctor about finding a possible substitute for it.   TRH
