Oxytocin

Also known as: OXT, Pitocin (obstetric brand), Syntocinon

Clinical / FDA-approved — Protocol evidence level

Dual-nature entry. The FDA-approved obstetric use is IV/IM and is administered ONLY by clinicians in a hospital setting for labor induction/augmentation and postpartum hemorrhage, dosed in milliunits/min by titrated infusion. A separate community 'research' use is subcutaneous for social/anxiety effects; that evidence is weak and frequently fails to replicate, and this use is not approved.

Contraindications — Do not use if:

•Obstetric: any condition where vaginal delivery is contraindicated (e.g., cord prolapse, placenta previa, fetal distress) — clinician judgment only
•Hypersensitivity to oxytocin
•Community 'research' use: not evaluated for safety as a self-administered product
