چکیده
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of an antioxidant herbomineral formulation, Addyzoa (Charak Pharma Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India) in oligospermia in comparison with Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10). Methods: A double-blind, randomised controlled trial was conducted at Dr Vaze’s clinic, Mumbai. A total of sixty patients, 30 in each group, were studied. Cap Addyzoa was administered in a dose of two capsules twice a day for three months and Cap Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) 30 mg, one capsule thrice a day. The main study outcomes were an increase in sperm count and improvement in motility and morphology of sperms. Results: In the Addyzoa group, an average increase of 2.74 million sperm was observed, whereas in the Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) group sperm count increased by 2.27 million. In both groups, the increase in motility was on average 1.5 to 2 times. Though
