Trying to conceive for over a year now. i have been using foam topical rogaine (minoxidil) for 7-8 months. is one side effect of using rogaine (minoxidil), low sperm count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Rogaine (minoxidil) is the same as Minoxidil which is a blood pressure medicine. It has not been known to affect sperm count. What you may be thinking of is Propecia which is a testosterone blocker.
