Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
HCG diet drops act on the hypothalamus in the brain which stimulates the body to to release abnormal fat which allows the body to rid itself of massive amounts of fat. This also has some effect on the cardiovascular system.

Adderall can cause weight loss because amphetamine speeds up the body's metabolism and lowers appetite. However, it also speeds up the heart and can cause irregular heartbeat.

Taking both together can get hazardous for your health. Please consult your doctor for any dose modifications or change of medications.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
