Abstract

Intra Uterine Growth Restriction is a challenge to clinicians all over the world because no definitive treatment is available and many empirical therapies are tried for treating the same. The present study was a multi-centric hospital based prospective observational study conducted in three tertiary care centres in Northern India on 200 patients with late onset IUGR and oligohydramnios. Sildenafil citrate 25 mg 8 hourly was given till delivery. All the outcomes were noted and analysed. After sildenafil therapy, 87 out 0f 90 patients with only IUGR, 35 out of 40 cases of oligohydramnios only and 64 out of 70 patients with IUGR & oligohydramnios both had marked improvement & 14 cases showed no improvement. From this study we concluded that adding sildenafil citrate in the treatment of IUGR and oligohydramnios can be a beneficial option.
