Hello there.
No, masturbation is not known to cause any interactions with any medications and is only a personal choice and comfort as to how many times one can masturbate in a day. There is no proven study to say that masturbation can reduce the effectiveness of the capsules.
If masturbation seems to be hindering the daily routine or mental health issues, it is advisable to talk to a counselor or a therapist. Otherwise, please be rest assured that it does not reduce the effectiveness of the medications.
