HCG Slim Again Side Effects

HCG Slim Again is a diet product that includes the hormone HCG. This hormone is found naturally in the body. HCG can be used to treat medical conditions such as undescended testes in infants. This is the hormone pregnancy tests record due to the HCG levels doubling during pregnancy. The hormone mobilizes fat and uses it for energy for the baby. HCG Slim Again is available as an oral mixture or an injection, both available by prescription.

Headaches and Dizziness

Headaches and dizziness are a reported side effect by many users of the diet hormone. This usually passes after the first few days of use.

Irregular Menstrual Cycles

Irregular menstrual cycles can occur as a side effect in some women taking the HCG Slim Again medication.

Constipation

Constipation is defined by the HCG Slim Again protocol as the absence of a bowel movement for longer than four to seven days. This side effect may be relieved by a laxative tea or over-the-counter suppository. Laxatives should be used with caution while on the program as they can stall your weight loss.

Skin Irritation

Irritation at the injection site is reported by some users of the HCG Slim Again injection doses. The injections can be administered at home or in a HCG Slim Again certified clinic.

Interference With Medications

Some people have reported an interference between HCG Slim Again and their birth control medication. This link has not be substantiated, however. According to the HCG Slim Again website, there will be no interaction between Slim Again and contraceptives. Interference with other prescription medications is determined on a case-by-case basis. HCG Slim Again recommends you discuss possible drug interactions with your personal doctor.

Weight Gain

Weight gain after quitting the product is a common side effect. HCG Slim Again does not have information released about the ability to maintain your targeted weight after ending the HCG Slim Again program. They do have wording which indicates you should contact their office for instructions on continuing the product for longer than 45 days.

Considerations

A very low-calorie diet--500 calories per day--is required in conjunction with this product. The official HCG Slim Again website has a disclaimer at the bottom of their frequently asked questions page that discusses the lack of evidence that HCG actually increases weight loss, redistributes fat or decreases hunger or discomfort that comes along with a calorie-restricted diet.
You are required to send a lengthy medical questionnaire to the clinic before they agree to treat you long distance.
