Results on the effect of glucocorticoids, which include betamethasone in Diprophos, on male fertility are inconclusive. One study found that steroids can cause a reversible reduction in sperm count and motility, another found no link between steroid treatment and infertility. Men planning to try for a child should therefore inform the doctor about their plans before starting therapy. The doctor will make an individual assessment of the risk of adverse effects on fertility, taking into account, m.in the length of therapy and the doses used.
