Seeking hCG: An Overview and How to Obtain a Prescription
Can I Still Get hCG? Where can I find it online?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone with FDA approval for specific medical uses in both women and men. In pregnancy, hCG, produced by the placenta, plays roles in thickening the uterine lining and halting the menstrual cycle, earning it the moniker "pregnancy hormone." Detectable in urine or blood around 10 to 11 days post-conception, hCG levels peak by the end of the first trimester, ranging between 25,700 to 288,000 mIU/mL. The hormone's elevation stimulates estrogen and progesterone production, essential for pregnancy support.
Available in various forms—such as injections and oral
tablets—hCG's FDA-approved products come solely in injectable form, requiring a licensed medical professional's prescription.
Despite the popular hCG diet, there are no FDA approved hCG products for weight loss, even though the hCG diet has been famous for decades. However, for men undergoing testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), hCG remains available by prescription to counter issues like testicular atrophy.
1.
Consultation: Initiate a discussion
with a licensed healthcare professional to evaluate your specific medical
condition warranting hCG as a necessity. For many men on TRT, issues like
testicular atrophy might necessitate hCG.
2.
Prescription: Once your healthcare
provider deems hCG necessary, they'll issue a prescription. This could be a
written Rx or a pharmacy call-in, facilitating the purchase.
3.
Acquisition: Obtain hCG from a
licensed pharmacy. Often not covered by insurance for men on TRT, injectable
hCG prescribed by your physician is legally dispensed by pharmacies. However,
large commercial pharmacies might not stock hCG, making it challenging to find.
Some online clinics collaborate with compounding pharmacies, providing
lyophilized vials that are reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before use.
It's
critical to adhere to your physician's guidance for hCG usage, as there may be
side effects. Attempting to procure hCG without a prescription or for
unauthorized use from online sources is illegal and risky.
Recent legal changes have impacted hCG's compounding, reducing local availability and increasing prices due to limited supply. Other medications like Kisspeptin-10 and Gonadorelin have been considered as
substitutes but have shown inefficacy compared to hCG for TRT.
Compounded
hCG is subject to stringent regulatory oversight and limited to specific
medical conditions. Seeking guidance from knowledgeable and ethical healthcare
providers and pharmacies adhering to regulations is essential for safe
utilization.
