Does Augmentin Affect Male Fertility?
Hi. I have blepharitis and infection of the eyelids currently. My doctor prescribed Augmentin, but since my wife and I are trying to conceive in the time frame while I m on antibiotics, we are concerned about possible adverse effects on my (male) fertility and possible effects on the fetus, should we successfully conceive this cycle. My question is, does Augmentin affect male fertility and more importantly are there known fetal effects even though it s the male taking the antibiotic. thanks.

Hi,
There is no documented evidence of any harmful effects of Augmentin on male infertility. It is also considered to be safe during pregnancy since it does not cause any fetal effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
