Randomization description
Referral patients who have inclusion criteria and no exclusion criteria are included in the study.After determining the patient's vitamin D level, patients are divided into two groups of normal and lower than normal vitamin D levels. Patients are randomly assigned to one of the two groups by simple random allocation method and the intervention belongs to the same group (normal group: treatment: tamsulosin tablets at a dose of 0.4 mg daily and silymarin capsules 240 mg and control group tamsulosin tablets with 0.4 mg daily and placebo capsules every 12 hours) and lower than normal group (treatment: tamsulosin tablets at a dose of 0.4 mg daily and silymarin capsules at a dose of 240 mg every 12 hours and perl calciciferol 50,000 U and the control group at a dose of tamsulosin tablets at a dose of 0.4 mg daily and placebo capsule for 12 hours receive a number and perl calciciferol (50,000 U).The randomization unit will be the patients. In each envelope, one of the four codes (A = normal therapy and code (B = normal control C) below normal therapy D) will be placed lower than normal control. Envelopes will be provided to the researcher. With each patient, one of the envelopes will be randomly selected by the researcher and introduced as a study group. The layering approach is not used. There will be no concealment in the study.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The study is a double-blind clinical trial. The results of the study were blinded at the patient level and outcome assessments. The drug and placebo capsules were filled in the same packages with the same labeling . Only the researcher could decrypt the contents of each drug package based on the defined code.
