Certain medications may affect male fertility

Bonnie - Did you know that commonly prescribed medicines like SSRI antidepressants like Prozac, beta blockers for hypertension, alpha blockers like Flomax, Tagamet, and pain medications like morphine and oxycodone can impair fertility in men?

In addition, men who are trying to conceive should also avoid using anabolic steroids (how about avoid at all times) and testosterone creams/injections because they shut down the body's production of testosterone and sperm.
