Could Having Sex With Pregnant Wife While Consuming Mercaptopurine Be Harmful For Child?
I've been prescribed Mercaptopurine to help combat my ulcerative colitis. My wife is currently pregnant and is worried that this chemo drug may harm the baby. Is this possible and can the chemo be passed through semen also causing a problem w/ the baby?
