Trying To Conceive, On Levothyroxine, Tripeltal, Losartan Potassium. Do Any Of These Interact With Sperm Count ?

Hi my husband I are trying to conceive our second child. He is currently taking levothyroxine( hypothyroid), Trileptal(seizures) and Losartan Potassium( high blood pressure). My question is does any or all of these drugs interact with his sperm count, shape , motility, etc? We have a 4 year old daughter which we conceived pretty easy, but now with the second we seem to be trying harder. He is 39, I am 34. Thanks for any advice.

Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I read your query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:
1) It is possible that these multiple endocrine and physical along with the drugs might result in semen count

2) However I advice you get semen analysis done before guessing the reason.

3) The problem could also be due to blockage of tubes, ovulatory problems etc... from your side also. Hence if his counts are normal, you might need to get evaluated.

I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any follow up query you have.

Regards,
