About oxytocin

Oxytocin is a peptide hormone that is produced within the neurons of the brain and released in to the blood stream. It is well known for its key role in labour and breast feeding, stimulating the contraction of the uterus and promoting milk ejection. Oxytocin has been used clinically since the 1960s as an IV drip and is also administered as an injection after childbirth to reduce uterine bleeding. More recently, oxytocin has been found to possess additional medicinal benefits as an anti-inflammatory agent, in promoting the healing of tissues as well as the possible reduction in certain types of pain.  

Oxytocin is the active substance of Vagitocin®, which is currently being investigated for the treatment of vaginal atrophy in menopausal women. In this application, the oxytocin gel is administered vaginally.
