Taking Saaz-ds, Defcort, Udimarine For Rheumatic Problems. Do They Decrease Fertility?
hello doctor, i am a rheumatic patient. age-29, married for last 1.5yrs. i have been prescribed medicines by a rheumatologist, those are Saaz-ds, defcort 6mg & Udimarine forte( this is for controlling SGPT level)....does the medicines decrease fertility...i want to conceive soon. i have been taking the medicines since 3months....its long term medication...pls suggest
Hello, Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum. Saaz D S ( sulfasalzine ) is no doubt a good drug for Rheumatoid arthritis but it reduces fertility & this is the risk. As far as concerned about the deflazacort ( defcort) , this is not good for first trimester of pregnancy ( also risky in 2nd trimester ) as far as known to me. Udimarine you can use very easily it did,'t have any side effects over pregnancy . If you want to conceive then in my opinion stop the Saaz D S and also don't use defcort ,but before this please consult your treating physician and take his opinion. Good luck. Dr. HET
