You have probably heard, and it’s true, that it is possible to order hCG online, along with supplies for mixing the hCG and supplements that claim to encourage health and weight loss.

Dr. Sharp is very opposed to purchasing hCG online.
1. It is illegal to purchase pharmaceuticals (and hCG is a pharmaceutical) without a prescription from a physician. Many online sites will sell hCG without a prescription. See http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/consumer_alert.htm.

2. Some sites will let you “consult” their online doctor who will give you a prescription, and you can then purchase hCG from the website. This “consult” will of necessity be quick and not thorough, and the online doctor will know nothing about your medical history. This is a very unwise way to get a prescription for anything. Don’t do it. http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/consumer_alert.htm.

3. Many websites get their hCG from overseas. This means no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) control over the hCG. The website can claim whatever it wants, but then it can also deliver whatever it wants because the FDA isn’t there to monitor it. For all you know, you could be buying diluted hCG collected from cows in China. Buying hCG online is dangerous.

4. In the United States, the FDA monitors where, how, and from what a drug is made. The FDA ensures that the pharmaceutical production facility is sanitary and sterile, that the hCG comes from humans and not animals, and that a bottle that claims to contain a certain amount of hCG really contains that amount.

5. hCG comes in powder form and must be hydrated before using. You can buy mixing kits online, but when you buy hCG from your local pharmacy, the pharmacist will mix it for you. This will ensure that your hCG is hydrated in the correct proportions in a sterile environment.

Buy your hCG from your local, FDA-monitored pharmacy. The hCG you purchase there is safe and sterile, and it’s the correct dose of human-produced hCG! The little bit of money you save on online hCG is not worth the cost to your body.
