Brief Answer:
Both these drugs can affect erection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Almost all antihypertensives have affect on erection since erectile function depends on blood flow in penile vessels. Beta blockers and diuretics are most commonly known to affect.

Amlodepin is calcium channel blocker and it rarely causes erectile dysfunction. Of all antihypertensives it is most appropriate when talking about erection so you should try to find another cause of it.

Wish you good health. Regards
