Human chorionic gonadotropin, known as HCG, is a hormone produced during pregnancy by the developing embryo. HCG is commonly used as a fertility treatment, but has also been used off-label in low doses as a weight loss supplement. HCG is available in multiple forms, including sublingual drops, sublingual spray and subcutaneous injection. Consult your physician prior to using HCG sublingual drops.
Step 1
Visit your physician to discuss your interest in HCG sublingual drops. Though very low-dose HCG is available over-the-counter, you must visit your doctor to obtain medical-grade HCG.
Step 2
Store your HCG sublingual drops in a cool, dark place. The drops can lose their potency if exposed to heat or light for an extended period of time.
Step 3
Take the HCG sublingual drops by using the dropper to administer the drops under your tongue. Take the drops in the amounts and at the times specified by your physician.
