Will Taking Esomeprazole And Atenolol Tablets Cause Infertility?

Hi there, I am 35 male, married for almost 7 years and have been taking 10 mg esomeprazole for almost 10 years and started taking beta blocker 25 mg atenolol and 5 mg amlopres for about 6 months. I and my wife trying to have a child for 2-3 years without a success. Could this infertility due to these drugs I'm taking? My semen analusis normal except for the morphology being 23%. Is that normal?

Hello
There are so many "MISCONCEPTION " about certain medicines but I am writing about side effects of esomeprazole and atenolol .
Esomeprazole side effects:
Headache, diarrhea, skin rashes , pruritus, dizziness and rarely GIT upsets.It means NO EFFECT not causes INFERTILITY.
Side effects of ATENOLOL:
Rash , breathing difficulty, headache , fatigue, depression , nightmares, sleeplessness, cold hands& feet, bronchospasm, constipation and anaesthesia.
It means NO EFFECT not causes INFERTILITY.
Amlopress means amlopidine side effects:
headache, insomnia , somnolence , nausea , abdominal pain , flushing, palpitation, dizziness, pruritus, rash.
No infertility.
I mentioned side effects of all these drugs , so that you understand better.
MORPHOLOGY ;Normal fertility is associated with sperm counts of >48 million/ mL with a motility of > 63% and > 12 % exhibiting normal MORPHOLOGY.
In your case it is 23 % , so good thing.
Hope this information will help you.
