Penis Curvature - Caused by Drugs Prescribed for High Blood Pressure

The medical community has been aware that long-term use of beta-blocking drugs for the treatment of high blood pressure and atherosclerosis can lead to Peyronie’s Disease. ^[1]

Middle-aged men who are treated with beta-blocking agents (such as propranolol, metoprolol, nifedipine, or, oxprenolol) for high blood pressure are susceptible to penis curvature. Noticeable fibrous plaques might occur within a few months of taking beta-blocking drugs. Determining the exact pathological mechanisms involved are still under investigation. ^[1]

Three classic cases published by Dr. Owen in article described how each men established Peyronies diease[2]

Case Study #1	Case Study #2	Case Study #3
A 53-year-old businessman with myocardial ischaemia and severe Frederickson Type 2 B hyperlipoproteinaemia complained about painful erections after taking propranolol and metoprolol for three months. Within weeks, a curvature of the penis was developed, a symptom that was diagnosed as Peyronie’s disease.	A male patient treated over nine years for hypertension was treated with oxprenolol 40 mg, amiloride hydrochloride 5 mg, and 50 mg drochlorothiazide on daily basis. He later developed a penis curvature problem.	A middle-aged engineer suffered from a myocardial infraction that later developed into hyperlipoproteinaemia and hypertension. He developed Peyronie’s disease in a few months after taking oxprenolol 40 mg twice a day. Fibrous plaques were detected in his penile shaft. It is not certain if his past medication of dothiepin hydrocholoride had contributed to the fast development of the curvature.
