Can I Take HCG Drops While Taking Levothyroxine And Anastrozole?
Question: Can I take hcg drops while taking levothyroxine and anastrozole
Brief Answer:
HCG drops haven't been studied
Detailed Answer:
Hi, Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic. I've treated many patients who have been on HCG. The problem is that there is NO research to show whether the drops are safe or not with ANY medication. But the thing you have to realize is that as you lose weight your dose of Levothyroxine has to be readjusted. Your dose will have to go down... so keep in touch with your primary while you are on the diet. As for the Anastrozole, again, stay in touch with your gynecologist.
While you are in Phase two and you are eating 500 calories (or 800 as the modified protocols say), you have to realize that YOU WILL feel very tired and that you WILL risk hypotension and fainting spells unless you stay hydrated and make sure you are taking your vitamin supplements.
I hope this helps. Feel free to follow-up
