The FDA has not approved HCG for weight loss treatment. The use of HCG for weight loss is an “off-label” use, which means that it is when a medical provider uses a medication for a purpose other than an approved indication. Over-the-counter use or sale is not allowed.
DISCLAIMER: "HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or 'normal' distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets."
We do not make any claims regarding weight loss results. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or mitigate any diseases.
Contraindications
hCG may not be appropriate for people who:
- Have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to hCG or any component of the formulation
- Have a hormone-sensitive cancer, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, or breast cancer
- Have a pituitary gland disorder or tumor
- Have uncontrolled thyroid dysfunction
Warnings and Precautions
hCG works on hormonal signaling pathways related to reproductive function. Because of this, any personal or family history of hormone-sensitive conditions should be discussed with your provider before starting.
hCG has been associated with fluid retention in some patients. Those with a history of asthma, epilepsy, migraine, or cardiac or kidney dysfunction should be monitored closely, since fluid retention may worsen these conditions.
Response to hCG varies significantly between individuals, and regular monitoring, including bloodwork, is typically part of an HRT program using this medication. Follow your provider's monitoring schedule.
Tell your provider about every medication, supplement, and health condition you have before starting.
Potential Side Effects
Reported side effects can include:
- Pain, redness, or irritation at the injection site
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Fluid retention or swelling
- Irritability or mood changes
- Allergic reaction
Seek immediate medical attention for signs of a severe allergic reaction: hives, swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. Contact your prescribing provider for anything else unexpected or concerning.
