How Long Does HCG Weight Loss Injections Take To Move Out Of System?

I have been on HCG weight loss injections for the last 40 days. I am scheduled for blood work for my thyroid, cortisol, estrogen and other hormones. How long does it take for the weigh loss HCG to be completely out of my system so it will not affect any blood work?

Hi,

The HCG injections start working after 36 hours of administration and leaves the body after 10 days on an average but it is better to wait for 14 days. It is assumed that it requires one day for each 1000 units of HCG to leave the body, so if a 10000 units of HCG injection is administered, it will need usually 10 days for it all to leave the body. For that reason, most of the doctors advise to wait for the longest period so that whole drug can be removed from the body.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
