Hi Guys:

Just a short note to say that I have logged on again.

As for Oxytocin,  the following is from a certain upcoming book.  Using
this, one could obtain Pitocin injectible from OB/Delivery units and make it
themselves.  At least you have somewhat of a dose.  I say "somewhat" because
the original package insert for Syntocinon never really stated the dose
delivered per spray...

-------------
"Intranasal sprays (Syntocinon) contained 40 IU/mL with a recommended
typical dose being one spray (3 drops) in each nostril to induce letdown.
This is roughly equivalent to 2 IU per drop or a total dose of approximately
12 IU per letdown dose."
