Journal Title: Journal of SAFOG - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of sildenafil citrate and L-arginine in the pregnancies complicated with fetal growth restriction (FGR) in terms of improvement in color Doppler parameters and perinatal outcome. Materials and methods: In this study, we included 218 antenatal patients with FGR. After randomization, 110 women received sildenafil and 108 women L-arginine.
