Identity and scope
HCG is a hormone and prescription product category. This reference identifies the named Pregnyl DailyMed label rather than treating online HCG products as equivalent.
Documented context
The Pregnyl label describes selected reproductive and endocrine uses, including induction of ovulation in women and selected male hypogonadotropic hypogonadism contexts. It also states that hCG has no known effect on fat mobilisation, appetite, hunger or body-fat distribution, so it does not support a weight-loss claim.
Safety and a useful record
The label cautions that induced androgen secretion may cause fluid retention. Product identity, contraindications and reproductive context are central.
Record product name, reason for prescription, relevant tests and treating clinician’s plan.
