Does the HCG shot and diet work for weight loss? Is it safe?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Dear Doctor, If a woman takes Duvadilan 10 mg and Susten 200 mg capsules as per medical advice, will these medicines affect the Beta HCG levels in a blood test? Can they cause the levels to drop or increase?

Answered by Apollo Doctors
