Does Ciprofloxacin Taken Before 2 Weeks Of IVF Cause Birth Defects?
Dear all, I have done ivf and have successfully conceived. But then I learnt that sperm needs 90 days to develop. My husband took 250mg of ciprofloxacin for 5 days and 500 mg of ciprofloxacin for another 5 days two weeks before ivf. Will it cause birth defects? Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Don't worry ciprofloxacin doesn't cause birth defects taken 2 weeks before IVF. In IVF sperms are processed and good quality sperms are picked. Damaged sperms are discarded.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards
Dr Deepika Patil
