Book description

This unique source of reference provides the first comprehensive guide to the adverse side-effects of many commonly prescribed drugs on fertility and sexual health. More than 150 drugs are listed in this compilation, and the evidence linking them with infertility and sexual dysfunction is carefully reviewed. The volume is designed to provide a rapid source of reference to alert doctors and pharmacists to these hazardous side-effects. The volume also includes an introductory account of the reproductive process and a review of the mechanisms by which these drugs can interfere with or inhibit reproduction. Another important theme of the volume is the effect of social and recreational drugs and environmental agents on reproductive health.

Reviews

‘Recent media attention and raised public awareness about the possible decline in human sperm counts makes this book timely and topical … it gives an authoritative and comprehensive review of drug effects on sexual function and fertility … I know it will be invaluable and frequently referred to in my own clinic.’

Peter G. Wardle Source: Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology

‘This is an authoritative account not only of therapeutic drugs that may affect sexual health but also of recreational drugs and environmental chemicals.’

Alex Paton Source: British Medical Journal

‘ … a splendidly timed book … recommended reading for all regular prescribers, and particularly for those to whom problems of infertility and/or sexual dysfunction are likely to present.’

Philip Myerscough Source: British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology
