Neuropeptides are signaling molecules used by neurons to communicate. In compounded medicine, oxytocin and related neuropeptides are used for social bonding support, sexual dysfunction, postpartum recovery, and autism spectrum conditions.
Oxytocin binds to oxytocin receptors in the brain, uterus, and mammary glands. It modulates social behavior, trust, pair bonding, and sexual arousal. PT-141 (bremelanotide) activates melanocortin receptors in the CNS to stimulate sexual desire.
Commercial oxytocin is available as a nasal spray (Syntocinon) in some countries but not the US. Compounded oxytocin nasal sprays, troches, and PT-141 nasal sprays for sexual dysfunction are only available through compounding pharmacies.
Compounded oxytocin nasal spray is available by prescription through 503A compounding pharmacies. The FDA approved Vyleesi (bremelanotide / PT-141) injection for HSDD; compounded PT-141 nasal spray offers a more accessible alternative. Oxytocin is a Schedule V controlled substance in some states.
