Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study is an randomized, double blind, comparative, multicentric placebo controlled study comparing the safety and efficacy of two dosage schedules of Paternia tablets as one tablet twice daily or two tablets twice daily each for 360 days in 140 male patients with infertility that will be conducted in five centers in India. The primary outcome measures will be the improvement in sperm count, motility, morphology, motility index, teratozoospermia index (TZI) and fertilization potential by HOS test.
