Oxytocin Dosing Guide

Intranasal: 10–40 IU per dose. Sublingual troches: 10–40 IU. Subcutaneous: 1–5 IU. Effect onset within minutes; duration short due to rapid clearance. Used as needed rather than on a daily schedule.

Blood markers to track

Blood pressureSodium (Na)

Note: Short half-life. Pair intranasal effect with social/therapy context for maximum behavioral relevance. Very safe at physiologic doses; high doses can transiently affect BP and sodium. Work with a provider for prescription access.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard Oxytocin dose?

Intranasal: 10–40 IU per dose. Sublingual troches: 10–40 IU. Subcutaneous: 1–5 IU. Effect onset within minutes; duration short due to rapid clearance. Used as needed rather than on a daily schedule.

How do I reconstitute Oxytocin?

Add 1mL of bacteriostatic water to a 1mg vial of Oxytocin to get a concentration of 1000 mcg/mL. This gives 30mcg per 3 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe.

What blood markers should I track while running Oxytocin?

Common biomarkers tracked alongside Oxytocin protocols include Blood pressure, Sodium (Na). Establishing a baseline panel before starting and re-drawing labs at consistent intervals lets you measure changes against your own reference point, generic lab ranges are less informative than your personal trend over time. MyProtocolStack tracks each of these biomarkers in the context of your active Oxytocin protocol.
