Oxytocin Nasal Spray

Within the first 2-4 weeks, many patients notice:

• A sense of calm and emotional well-being
• Increased trust, connection, and bonding
• Enhanced sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm (in both men and women)
• Reduced anxiety and stress (effects can begin within minutes)

With regular use, oxytocin gel may:

• May support emotional resilience and healthy relationships
• May help reduce symptoms of depression or social withdrawal
• May improve sexual function in people on SSRIs
• Could aid in reducing blood pressure and improving wound healing

• Blood testing is not always necessary but may be recommended
• Ensure thyroid and cortisol levels are optimized (oxytocin is affected by these)

• Mild headache
• Slight nasal burning (usually brief)
• Nausea or mild cramps (rare)
• Blood pressure changes (especially if sensitive)
• In men: long-term use may aggravate prostate enlargement (BPH)

• Sudden or severe headache
• High or low blood pressure symptoms (e.g., dizziness, fainting)
• Worsening mood or new manic behavior
• Prostate or pelvic discomfort
• Persistent nasal irritation or nosebleeds

Not recommended if you have:

• Prostate cancer or enlarged prostate (in men)
