Why Is Susten,supractiv And Pregnistar Prescribed During Pregnancy?
Hello Doctor Myself shikha. I had my last pregnancy checkup when I was in seven nd half month(15 days back). My B.P was 130 and 80. This is my second pregnancy. In my last pregnancy I was prescribed only two tabs ANOFER and CCM for all nine months. But this time during this last check up. My doctor prescribed another three tabs SUSTEN 200 , SUPRACTIV and PREGNISTAR. In all 5 tables everyday. And because this doctor is new to me, I have no idea for what reason is she giving all these extra tabs when everything was fine with ultrasound and normal checkup. Please let me know do I should go with this and for what reason I have been prescribed these. Please help. Thanks ,

Hi,
Susten is medication obtained from plant sources and has a similar action to the female hormone, progesterone. It is used to correct menstrual disorders caused due to deficiency of progesterone in the body.
It is used in hormone replacement therapy and for maintenance of pregnancy under specific circumstances.
Supractiv Capsule is used for pregnancy-related mineral deficiency and other such conditions. It contains antioxidants, minerals and vitamins as active ingredients.
The pregnistar tablet contains Levothyroxine, Nicotinamide and Vitamin B6 as active ingredients.
It benefits by normalising thyroid hormone produced by the body, producing antibodies and hemoglobin, by keeping blood sugar level in normal range, helping tissue in respiration and metabolism of fats, protein and thus lowers blood cholesterol.
Kindly take the medications as prescribed and do the necessary follow-up with your doctor as advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
