Does Continuous Use Of Cefuroxime And Methylprednisolone Affect Fertility?

Hi, I have been on cefuroxime axetil IP 500 mg 2 tablets in the morning and 2 tablets in the night for 21 days due to high lung infection. I am currently on methylprednisolone 16 mg tablets once a day for 5 days. Do these medication affect the sperms in anyway as we are trying to have a baby??

Hi. If you are facing fertility issue it is definitely not due to these two drugs you are taking as they don't do so. But if for all they do then not at least in short course of 21 days. So complete your treatment. For sperm issue, meet a vd expert as it is something else
