Is Pitocin the same as oxytocin?
Yes, as a name. Pitocin is a brand name for oxytocin, listed as another name on this site's oxytocin profile along with Syntocinon. The FDA label covers giving it into a vein or muscle in hospital, to start or strengthen contractions and to control bleeding after birth. Its molecular weight is 1,007.2 daltons. An intranasal spray sold for bonding or social effects is not that approved product. This site does not rank brands. Full record at /compounds/oxytocin.
