Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to healthcare Magic.
I have gone through your query and Would like to reply in detail as follows:
1. Supracal tablet contains calcium which helps in development of strong bones in child and is also necessary for growth of your body during pregnancy to support growing fetus since calcium requirement increases during pregnancy.
2. Carnisure madicine is a diet supplement used to prevent and treat low blood levels of carnitine. Carnitine is a substance made in the body from meat and dairy products. It helps the body use certain chemicals (long-chain fatty acids) for energy and to keep you in good health. In pregnancy it is given to suppliment growing needs of this.
3. Scheduled anomaly scan is not only good but is must to know welfare of the baby and to diagnose presence of any abnormalities.
I hope your doubt is clarified. Let me know if you wish any other information.
Regards,
Dr. Soumya
