Does Oxycodone Have Any Effect On Sperm Count?

I am 30 years old and have been taking Oxycodone for over a year now. Me and my fiancé are trying to have a child and I was wondering if the oxycodone would effect my sperm count and keep us from achieving our goal?? Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, CHris and Brittany

Hello,
Thank you for the query.
Oxycodone is a narcotic analgesic used to manage moderate to severe pain.
Up till now the effects of oxycodone on male fertility or sperm count have not been evaluated and there is no repoted case of reduced sperm count or infertility due to this medicine.So no need to worry, you can still have a child.
Hope this helps.Take care.
Thank you.
