Prednisolone, Azathioprine, Ciclosporin and not pregnant.
Someone could tell me whether or not Ciclosporin (cyclosporin) cause sperm abnormalities. My husband has been taking Prednisole for twenty-three years now and we have experienced Infertility. After more than 2 years we eventually conceived, but now we are into our second year for another baby.
He was on Azathioprine, but it was stopped due to his white blood cell count dropping. His specialist has suggested that he now tries Cyclosporin.
It may be a problem in getting pregnant?
Some advice would be appreciated.
