Many others have: The key issue for men with transplants is whether their immunosuppression causes abnormal sperm - this answer is not fully known. However, many male recipients have naturally fathered normal babies and there is not a major suspicion that this is a problem. The only drugs that we have any concern about are Myfortic and cellcept, (mycophenolate mofetil) and these can be switched. Discuss issues with your transplant center.
