[Pentoxifyllin in andrology (author's transl)].
Sperm investigations of 38 men with Oligo-Astheno-Teratozoospermia and inconspicuous gonadotropin-level treated with pentoxifyllin 3 x 400 mg/die for a period of 8 to 20 weeks have shown an increase in sperm-density of 10 Mio/ml. The increase was significant, but it concerns only 14 of the 38 patients while motility and morphology did not change.
