Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

* Firstly, you have not mentioned the reason for which homochek and subsequently, Levipill was advised to you. I therefore advise you to give more details.

* homochek is nothing but a vitamin B called folic acid. No harm in STOPPING it.

* Levipill is usually used in seizure cases. If it was prescribed for sinus problem, I do not have any idea how it works on sinus.

* Do you get frequent attack of common cold with sneezings and nasal flow? If yes, it suggests allergy as the cause of sinus problem. Long term anti-allergic drugs (such as, montelukast) + anti-histaminics (such as, levoceterizine) would keep sinus problem under check.
