Menorrhagia is an abnormal vaginal bleeding. Ormeloxifene is anti proliferative drugs which reduce production of various endometrial derived local factors and corrects menorrhagia with decrease menstrual blood loss (MBL) and clots. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effect of Ormeloxifene in women with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. We enrolled a total of 172 patients, aged 25 to 45 year, attended outpatient of gynecology department with complaints of heavy menstrual blood flow. Ormeloxifene was administered orally twice a week for first 12 weeks and then once in a week for next 12 weeks. MBL was measured using pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC), blood hemoglobin. The median difference between pretreatment and post-treatment PBAC score was found to be significant. Similarly, It was also same with the difference in mean hemoglobin between pretreatment and post-treatment levels. The frequency distribution of clots during post treatment was significant as compared to pretreatment. Ormeloxifene is a cost effective effect therapy.
