Question 1

can homeopathic hcg drops cause dvt and pulmonary embolism?

Accepted Answer

No: No, it can't. The homeopathic diet aid you're referring to isn't the full strength hormone, it's much less than 1/1, 000 of the normal dose. The only way there would be a concern about DVT or pe would be a rather rare occurrence of clotting and that typically only happens when you get larger doses that react adversely with your hormones as reported at http://www.Drugs.Com/hcg.Html.

Question 2

is hcg diet dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't sound safe: The HCG diet has a person eating 500 calories a day for more than a month. That's just one big slice of pizza a day. A 4-month old baby eats 500 calories a day. Anybody on 500 calories a day is on a starvation diet and will lose weight. It doesn't sound safe. Extremely low calorie diets don't work because the weight comes back when one starts eating again. Long-term lifestyle changes are needed.

Question 3

what are hcg diet drops for?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Most people try to use human growth hormone for weight loss and for metabolism. It has never been proven to be effective when taken orally. Most of the oral products that are availible over the counter are not going to do much for you. I wouldnt waste your money.

Question 4

what are the complications involving the hcg diet?

Accepted Answer

Insufficiency : The diet is really a starvation diet and can cause problems with heart and other organs because you aren't getting enough nutrition and can see  consequences from starvation.  Do not recommend as not worth weight loss. Add exercise if you want to burn more calories than you are taking in. Not worth harming your body

Question 5

if i conceived while on the hcg diet, what are my risks?

Accepted Answer

Don't know: I went to their website and can't really determine what is in it. I would recommend that you not continue with this medication.  Try weight watchers and exercise instead.

Question 6

can i do hcg diet while on your menstrual cycle?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Sometimes the weight can stop around the time of menstruation.  The diet should be done with a qualified physician.

Question 7

am i allowed to drink lemon water on the hcg diet?

Accepted Answer

Yesif no Sugar: You can drink any drinks that have no sugar such as crystal light, diet soda, sparkling waters etc.

Question 8

after hcg diet shots when i can i rely on pregnancy test?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on the dose, but it would be very safe to say 14 days after last shot.

Question 9

how can  smoking hookah affect your weight loss on the hcg diet?

Accepted Answer

Increases appetite: I am assuming you are smoking marijuana in the hookah?  While on the HCG diet you should not be taking drugs other than necessary medications for health reasons.

Question 10

is it ok to take amoxicillin and simvistatin while on a hcg diet?

Accepted Answer

HCG diet: This diet is not proven to be of value in promoting weight loss except for your wallet. If you persist you can go ahead and take amoxicillin and simvistatin at the same time.
