What should I do if sexual dysfunction is caused by taking blood pressure medication?

Patient's question:

A few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. The doctor prescribed Losartan Potassium Tablets and Amlodipine Besylate Tablets. After taking them, I noticed a significant decrease in libido and sexual dysfunction, including noticeable erectile difficulties, slow penis erection, and weak performance, making it hard to engage in sexual activity. Before taking the medication, everything was normal. I haven't divorced yet, and I can't be like this now. I urgently need advice on how to fix this. Can anyone help me?
