HI,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your query and i appreciate your concern regarding this issue.
Lisinopril does not effect sperm count or does not cause infertility in men but it has some rare side effects like
- Decreased interest in sexual intercourse
- inability to have or keep an erection
- lack or loss of strength
- loss in sexual ability, desire, drive, or performance.
But it has direct effects on pregnancy when used by women.
Hope so it will be helpful.
You can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you good health.
Regards
