Oxytocin

Oxytocin is a powerful “bonding/love” hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, influencing behaviors such as empathy, generosity, and orgasm. 

There is evidence to suggest that oxytocin may have a positive effect on erectile function. Studies show that oxytocin positively impacted a number of components of sexual function, including libido, erection, and orgasm, and was well tolerated.

Dose: 1 spray (40 IU) in one nostril 30-60 minutes before intercourse. May also be used daily as needed for anxiety.

Oxytocin Clinical Information

How Oxytocin Works

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary. It is well known for its role in childbirth and lactation, but it also acts as a central neuromodulator involved in social bonding, trust, intimacy, emotional connection, and arousal. As a compounded sexual-wellness therapy it is most commonly delivered via troche (dissolvable tablet), nasal spray, or sublingual route.

  • Support for emotional intimacy and bonding
  • Adjunct in libido and arousal protocols
  • Sometimes combined with PT-141 or other agents for synergistic effect

  • Pregnancy (unless specifically indicated for obstetric use under hospital protocol — not addressed here)
  • Known allergy to oxytocin or excipients
  • Severe cardiovascular disease — discuss with your provider
