Sixteen of eighteen symptoms of PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME indicate significant superiority for VITEX, other symptoms including (suicide and swelling of extremities) being unaffected by treatment. There was no statistically significant difference between two groups in regard to adverse events.Conclusion: VITEX is an effective treatment for the relief of symptoms of the PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME.
