Does Using Isoniazid Tablets Cause Seminal Problems?

I am a 36yr old man, 5'11'' tall, 154 pounds weight. Does going through treatment of inactive TB using Isoniazid 300mg tablets cause harm to semen and can we plan for a baby while going through the treatment or do we have to wait till 9 months for completion of treatment? Please advise.

Hello Thanks for writing to HCM.
I read and understand your question.
I try my best to help you.

As you are on isoniazide tablets and there is no known effect by isoniazid on male fertility or semen production. You want to plan baby than go for it.

I hope my advice will help you a lot.
