Does Roxithromycin Affect Sperm Production?

I have been prescribed with Roxithromycin 300 mg @ 1 tablet per day for chest congestion and infection. My question is I am planning to have a child. Will the treatment with Roxithromycin affect the quality of sperm. Is it advisable to proceed with my plan.
