Eligible patients were randomly assigned to the niclosamide arm or the control arm. Randomization was carried out based on the days of the hospital visit every week. Patients in the niclosamide arm received ramipril plus niclosamide 1 g once daily, and patients in the control arm received ramipril only for 6 months.
