Abstract Purpose Pentoxifylline was tested in three raising concentrations (0.7 mM/l, 1.5 mM/l, 3.6 mM/l) on human sperm cells in vitro. Methods On 143 samples, we examined drug effect on motile sperm concentration, grade of their motility, acrosome reaction and membrane status. Results Obtained results show improvement in motile sperm concentration, as well as in the grade of progression in the majority of samples. Conclusions Spermatozoa membranes as well as occurrence of the acrosomal reaction were not affected by penoxifylline.
