Effect of Coenzyme Q10a and Clomiphene Citrate for Ovulation Induction in Patients with PCOS as Compared to Clomiphene Citrate alone
To evaluate the effects of coenzyme Q10A and clomiphene citrate taken in addition to other drugs to stimulate ovulation in people with polycystic ovarian syndrome. The Department conducted the study of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pakistan Ordinance Factory (POF), Wah Cantonment, Rawalpindi from Mar 2019 to Feb 2021 By using a lottery, all of the patients were split into two random groups. Group A was given Coenzyme Q10A 60mg daily from day 1 of the cycle thrice a day and clomiphene citrate 150mg/day from days 2-6 of the cycle, and Group B was given only clomiphene citrates 150mg/day from 2-6 day of cycle for 5 days. The follicular growth and maturation were observed on days 10, 12, and 14 of the cycle with transvaginal ultrasound. Ovulation was confirmed by measuring serum progesterone level on day 21 of the cycle. Patients were followed for 3 cycles.The mean number of mature follicles in Group A was 1.63+0.49 and 1.3+0.47 in Group B (p-value=0.01). The analysis of either of the groups' ovulation statuses revealed that in 70% of patients (n=21) in Group A and 36.67% (n=11) in Group B, ovulation was initiated (p value= 0.01). We concluded that the outcome of combined coenzymeQ10A and clomiphene citrate is significantly better for patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome; inducing ovulation is more effective with clomiphene citrate alone.
