about his having children which I know he wants. I read about females and fetal abnormalties but what about the male being the one on these drugs during conception? Should there be any concerns?

Hi Claudia,

Thank you for your question. I am not aware of any medications that can pass from the male to harm a developing fetus. The risk on the female side comes about because the mother shares a blood supply with the unborn child, and every medication the mother is taking also passes through the bloodstream of the baby. This should not be a concern for the father. I hope this helps!
