The Effects of Sildenafil on Fetal Doppler Indices: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
10.30699/jambs.28.131.296 Background & Objective: Sildenafil citrate is a potential new strategy for the management of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preeclampsia, although its efficacy still needs to be approved. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to systematically assess the effectiveness of sildenafil on improving fetal Doppler indices, as well as the most common adverse effects of sildenafil.
