Masking Details
The drugs given to participants in Groups A and B are in capsules and have thesame size and packaging but different colors. They will be put in a brown envelop to cover the color. The brown envelops will then be labelled with study number based in the numbers generated by the Random number table (WINPEPI) by a research assistant to ensure the principal investigators do not know the drug inside the brown envelopes. The participants will take the drugs at home. This ensures that the care provider, investigators and outcomes assessors do not know the drug the patient takes. However the patient will know the drug she takes since the drug is labelled. The
