Most of the drugs are hormonal based therapies. Meaning if a man has a hormone problem those hormones can be supplemented or replaced to try and improve their sperm counts and the quality of their sperm.

There are a variety of other medications that can be used to treat <a href="http://www.videojug.com/interview/male-infertility-2">male infertility</a> but they are also situational specific if a man has a prostate infection or a urinary tract infection that can be causing damage to the sperm then treating that person with the appropriate antibiotics can help.
