Summary

The aim of work is to study the effectiveness of letrozole in treatment of early undisturbed ectopic pregnancy in comparison with Methotrexate.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Methotrexate (drug)

Methotrexate is a folic acid antagonist that inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which converts folic acid to tetrahydrofolate, a cofactor needed in DNA and RNA synthesis

DRUG

Letrozole 2.5Mg Tab

Aromatase inhibitors has been shown toSuccessfully block estrogen production In the absence of estrogen priming, progesterone may not exert its physiological functions due to a negative effect on progesterone receptors. It was hypothesized that by inhibiting the estrogen synthetase (the aromatase enzyme), the progesterone would not exert its physiological function in maintaining pregnancy, including ectopic pregnancy
