I think this is for pain, if it's the one I am thinking of (I have had lots of pain issues) most medications such as this (even antidepressants and other drugs) have the ability to cause ED, the thing that is probably a good idea is to just ask the doctor when you go in if this can happen, if this is the cause then your doctor should be able to find another medication that does not cause this to happen (A friend of mine had similar experience with another medication) once the doctor was aware then the doctor changed the medicine
it's your body since I don't know your doctor I know sometimes we have to research and say I know from what I have been told and what I experience makes me believe that this is causing my problem, you are the important person here I hope I have been able to give you a point in the right direction
