Syntocinon

In the past, one of the drug companies produced such a nasal spray under the 
brand name of Syntocinon.  Each ml (milliliter) of the nasal spray (two or 
five ml bottles) contained:

Oxytocin:		40 USP Units
Preservatives:
Chlorobutanol:	0.05 %
Methylparaben
Propylparaben
Buffers:
Citric Acid
Sodium Phosphate
Sodium Chloride
Vehicles:
Glycerin
Sorbitol
Purified Water

The drug manufacturer stated that, while harmful effects on the newborn have 
not been reported, it should be noted that oxytocin nasal spray is intended 
only for initial milk propulsion and ejection, and not for continued use.  
The dosage for use was one spray in both nostrils two to three minutes 
before nursing or pumping of breasts.

There are compounding pharmacists in the United States who can and will 
compound an oxytocin nasal spray when the patient has a doctor’s 
prescription.
