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!
