Dopamine-blocking drug pimozide was tested in women with anovulation resistant to clomiphene citrate. One patient ovulated, suggesting dopaminolytic therapy may help hypothalamic anovulation.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroendocrinology
  • Reproductive Medicine

Context:

  • Hypothalamic dopamine influences ovulatory cycles.
  • Anovulation is a common cause of infertility.
  • Clomiphene citrate is a standard treatment for anovulation.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the efficacy of the dopaminolytic drug pimozide in treating anovulatory menstrual cycles.
  • To explore pimozide's potential role in cases of clomiphene citrate resistance.

Summary:

  • Ten patients with anovulatory cycles, unresponsive to clomiphene citrate, received pimozide (5 mg/day).
  • Treatment was administered either from day 7-11 (7 patients) or day 11-15 (4 patients).
  • One patient ovulated, one showed an LH peak without ovulation, and two had slow LH increases.

Impact:

  • Suggests a potential therapeutic role for dopaminolytic agents in hypothalamic anovulation.
  • Highlights the need for further research into pimozide for infertility treatment.
  • Provides preliminary data on LH surge and ovulation induction with pimozide.
