Using stratified randomization, Patients will be assigned to three strata based on their disease severity, which is obtained from Revised fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (mild:0-39, moderate: 40-59, severe: 60-100). Thereafter, through permuted block randomization, 3 blocks, each containing 30 participants will be formed. Each strata has one block with 30 patients with equal distribution (15 patients from interventional group and 15 patients from placebo). Random sequence will be generated using www.Randomization.com. For allocation concealment, sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelops will be used. patients, will be initially evaluated for their disease severity and will receive either bottle A or B, according to their strata sequence.
