Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that your doctor has prescribed right treatment . Folitrax needs continuous monitoring of liver functions and CBC which will be done every 3 months . You may get nausea and vomiting while taking this drug .Folic acid is a vitamin so no side effect for that . You should stick to this treatment only rather then ayurvedic one .
Take care.
