Is oxytocin legal in the US?

This site's US legal-status field for oxytocin is FDA approved, prescription only. That approval, as Pitocin, is for obstetric use: inducing or strengthening labor and controlling postpartum bleeding. Intranasal sprays sold for bonding or social effects are not that approved product. UK, Australia, and Canada fields are licensed or registered prescription status. Sub-national detail is not in this dataset.

Educational use only. This database summarizes published research and is not medical advice. Where a dose appears it is a record of what a trial or clinic ran, or what people describe doing, with its source attached. Nothing here is a recommendation for personal use.

Part of more absences and national fields. Further harvested questions after the first names-and-absences set: more side effects the citations did not count, compounding formulas this catalogue does not hold, national legal-status fields for compounds that only have those four countries, trial windows rather than an onset clock, and named prescription combinations with no interaction table.
