A member asked:
My husband is taking cyclosporine/immunosuppressive medicine long-term, could that cause birth deffects on a fetus/baby?

Tough question.: Although the FDA had classified cyclosporin as pregnancy category C meaning that the risk to the fetus is unknown, its effect on sperm is even less known. Thus it is a subject you will need to discuss with the OB doctor.
