Oxytocin nasal spray is used, and it is effective.

Any compounding or specialty pharmacy in New Jersey can compound it.  Pat Young may have some ideas on that.

  *   Drug Formula: Syntocinon (Oxytocin)
  *   Use and Dosage:  One spray in one or each nostril two to three minutes before nursing or pumping breasts x < 2 days
  *   Nasal Spray Bottle = 2 ml or 5 ml

Preservatives:
Chlorobutanol (0.05%), methyparaben, propylparaben
Buffers:
Citric acid, sodium phosphate, sodium chloride
