Will taking Dicorate ER 500 affect my sperm count or the health of my future baby, and do I need to stop taking this medication now that we are trying to conceive?

Asked by Male, 27 · 8 days ago

While Dicorate ER (divalproex sodium) can sometimes temporarily lower sperm count or motility, these effects are typically reversible. Crucially, there is no strong evidence showing that a father taking this medication increases the risk of birth defects in the baby. Please do not stop taking your Dicorate ER abruptly, as keeping your health stable is very important. I highly recommend discussing your plans with your prescribing doctor, who can safely guide you and discuss any potential alternatives if needed.
