The one-loop contributions to the branching ratios for leptonic decays are calculated in the CP-conserving 2HDM(II). The analysis is focused on large
enhanced contributions. We found that these contributions, involving loops with both neutral and charged Higgs bosons, dominate over the tree-level
exchange, the latter one being totally negligible for the decay into e. We derive a simple analytical expression for the one-loop contribution which holds in the large
case. We show that the leptonic branching ratios of
are complementary to the Higgsstrahlung processes for h(H) and have a large potential in constraining the parameters of the model. In this work we provide upper limits on the Yukawa couplings for both light h and light A scenarios, and we derive a new lower limit on the mass of
as a function of
which differs significantly from what was considered as a standard constraint based on the tree-level
exchange only. Interestingly we also obtain an upper limit on
