Randomization units are individuals. 150 outpatients referred to the hospital emergency department are randomly assigned to one of the two intervention and control groups. This study is a two-course method and patients in the intervention group will receive the intervention drug in addition to the routine treatment, but in the patient control group, they will receive the placebo along with the routine treatment.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded

To blind the study, the drugs are packaged with special tags with double-digit codes so that only the final evaluator, who is a physician, is aware of the type of medication that patients are receiving. Also, in order not to inform the patient, the placebo is given to the control group. Therefore, patients are not aware of the type of medication they are receiving.
