7th Euro-Global Summit on
Beta-blockers and sperm function
Jordan University of Science and Technology, Jordan
Beta-blockers (or histamine-2 receptor antagonists) are a subtype of acid reducers commonly used to treat the acid-related
gastrointestinal diseases (i.e., ulcer, dyspepsia and gastro-esophageal reflux disease). Even though, these drugs, especially
ranitidine and famotidine, are commonly used worldwide, their effects on sperm function are still indistinct. This work
integratively discusses and summarizes the effect of B-blockers on sperm function. The effects of nizatidine and ranitidine on
sperm function are still controversial. Cimetidine has adverse effects on sperm function. In contrast, to date, famotidine does
not appear to alter sperm function. Further studies are considered very significant to explain the role of B-blockers on sperm
function.
