Never actually thought anything would pass that route, but apparently some meds do...

Let's start a list:

1- Methotrexate - must wear a condom and wait ~3 months usually before they could have unprotected intercourse with a female of childbearing potential.

Accutane

5ARI's??

 

[Trancelucent1]

I'm pretty sure thalidomide is also on this list.

 

[PharmDstudent]

Even though this is indirect, drugs that interact with birth control!

 

[Brixius]

Accutane

Kinda ... it's part of the iPledge deal that a woman must use at least 2 forms of birth control while on Accutane. One method might be for the man to use a condom; however, there are no such restrictions for a male who is taking Accutane.

Maybe finasteride?

When I saw the title, I was completely thinking the other way in terms of STDs......I was like what does that mean?? 😕
After reading the posts tho, it kinda gives the notion that having a baby is considered unsafe......i guess u are saying those requiring men to use contraception..
