Summary

This randomized,active controlled study aimed to compare the effects on sexual function of treatment with combined antihypertensive drugs.

The researchers hypothesize that:

1. Both felodipine-irbesartan combination and felodipine-metoprolol combination are effective in lowing blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.
2. Felodipine-metoprolol combination induces a worse sexual function and a reduction of sex hormone,whereas felodipine-irbesartan combination does not impair sexual function and does not change hormone levels.
3. Oxidative stress decline after both combination regimens. Felodipine-irbesartan combination has a greater impact on oxidative stress indicators than felodipine-metoprolol combination.
