There really is no medical data or opinion on vitamin and mineral supplements in heart failure, however there is no evidence that they do any harm so in general patients are told it is ok to take them. Consider whether or not your erectile dysfunction began to be a problem with the initiation of any of these supplements, and if so, stop that particular supplement. Also discuss this with your doctor at your next visit. Remember, that should it be the coreg that is contributing to the erectile dysfunction, this is a VERY important drug for a cardiomyopathy patient and this fact should be taken in to consideration before you decide on whether or not to take the drug. I hope you find this information useful.
