The study tests if Luteolin, a natural compound in foods like celery and parsley known for its health benefits, can improve symptoms of schizophrenia when compared to a placebo (a substance with no active drug).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, Luteolin may cause reactions related to its anti-inflammatory properties. As it's being tested against a placebo which has no treatment effect, any side effects would likely stem from Luteolin.
