Abstract
A method for surveying side-effects in the hypertension clinic of a district general hospital is described. A high frequency of complaints was confirmed. Impairment of sexual activity in the sexually active was reported by 23 (48%) men and 10 (23%) women. A previous lack of data from women on this subject may have led to the unsafe conclusion that drugs which can cause impotence in men are necessarily more suitable for women. The survey method is capable of identifying susceptible patients who may then be asked to co-operate in further research.
