ALA is sold as a dietary supplement, either by itself or incorporated into a multivitamin product. it also has anti-oxidant effect.

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA)

Pentoxifylline is a methylxanthine derivative which acts as a vasodilator by increasing blood flow to tissues, inhibits inflammatory responses, and reduces blood viscosity by impeding platelet aggregation

Pentoxifylline (PTX)

is a medication used to treat infertility in women who do not ovulate

Clomiphene Citrate

Nagwa Al Sabri, Phd

This study evaluate the addition of PTX and ALA to clomiphene citrate in the treatment of polycystic ovary.

Clomiphene, PTX and ALA each used in treatment of pco but they do so by different mechanisms.

Clomifene is in the selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) family of medication. It works by causing the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone by the hypothalamus, and subsequently gonadotropin from the anterior pituitary.

PTX and ALA are used in treatment of pco due its anti-oxidant effect.
