Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): These medications may prevent the proper movement of sperm through the reproductive tract or otherwise harm the sperm.* Ketoconazole : When it is taken as a pill, ketoconazole hurts testosterone production and decreases sperm production.* Chemotherapy: All chemotherapy medications used to treat cancer will inhibit sperm production.* Other medications : The following medications may cause male fertility problems: some antibiotics, spironolactone, cimetidine, nifedipine, sulfasalazine, and colchicine.
