There are no known serious HCG drops side effects because they are homeopathic; therefore, they are not as harsh on your body as injections.  Most of the HCG drops side effects that are reported are due to the diet associated with the drops, as opposed to the drops themselves and generally only last the first week or so until your body becomes adjusted to the diet.

HCG Diet

The HCG diet calls for a very low caloric diet of only 500 calories.  This can be drastic for people just starting on the HCG drops for the first time. While your body is getting enough nutrients and energy from stored fat that is being consumed, your stomach is getting much less food than it is used to getting.   This can have an effect on your body.

HCG Drops Side Effects

The change in your diet may cause the following HCG drops side effects:

  • · Headache – During the first week of the protocol, you may experience minor headaches due to the low calorie diet.  You can take over-the-counter-medication to treat these headaches.
  • · Constipation – Bowel movements will likely decrease to just once every three to four days due to the few calories being consumes.  Do not confuse this with constipation; however, it is possible to truly have constipation.  If you are having stomach cramping because you are constipated, then try to take a mild, sugar free laxative.
  • · Mild Dizziness – Mild dizziness is something that will generally happen in the first week, while your body is adjusting to the reduction of calories.  While this is not uncommon, it should go away after the first week.

More Common HCG Drops Side Effects

Most of the above may not ever be an issue.  The HCG drops are supposed to help you with the symptoms that are common when your body is not receiving the calories it’s used to.  It depends on the brand you choose and whether the extra ingredients are high quality.  If any of the HCG drops side effects last too long, contact your doctor.

Rare HCG Drops Side Effects

  • Rash – Rashes are rare; however, they are a possibility.  When your body consumes fat, it releases normal toxins into your body.  When you begin the HCG diet drops, your body consumes fat at a very fast speed.  When this happens, your body can build up toxins, which can cause a minor rash.
  • Leg Cramps – Leg cramps are rare; however, you could experience cramps in your legs due to the lack of potassium in the core phase of your diet.  You can take potassium supplements to help treat the symptoms.
  • Burning Muscle Instead of Fat – This is a rare effect that will only happen if you purchase HCG diet drops that are not made from pure HCG or contain other ingredients that will counteract how the drops are intended to work.  The body does tend to eliminate muscle before fat.  When you combine the HCG drops with a low calorie diet, the excess fat will be used first.  The drops will also help to prevent the empty fat cells from refilling.

HCG drops side effects are not generally serious and are much less severe than HCG injections.
