Does Ciprofloxacin Cause A Low Sperm Count?
My husband was proscribed penicillin after having a tooth pulled, after 3 days he had an allergic reaction and is now on ciprofloxacin hcl 500 mg. Do we need to worry about a lower sperm count from taking this medication? And if so how long after stopping the medication will it be back to normal?
