ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of ormeloxifene with medroxyprogesterone acetate in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding. MATERIAL AND METHOD: 440 Patients were divided into two groups. In group A, ormeloxifene was given at the dosage of 60 mg twice a week for 3 months followed by 60 mg once a week for 1 month. In group B, medroxyprogesterone acetate was given at the dosage of 10 mg twice a day from day 5 to day 25 of the menstrual cycle. At follow-ups, patients were assessed for PBAC score, endometrial thickness by USG, hemoglobin level, and the side effects of drug therapy. RESULTS: There were 240 patients in group A and 200 in group B. Reduction in median PBAC score was 79.4 % in group A and 75 % in group B after 4 months of treatment. The mean duration of bleeding reduced to 4.8 from 9 in group A and 5 from 8.7 in group B. Mean hemoglobin was increased from 8.6 to 9.8 g % in group A and from 8.7 to 9.9 g % in group B; endometrial thickness was reduced from 7.7 mm to 6.8 mm in group A and from 7.4 mm to 6.9 mm in group B. CONCLUSION: We conclude from this study that ormeloxifene should be considered the first choice in the management of AUB, especially in the perimenopausal age group where amenorrhea is acceptable.
