Oxytocin and Pregnancy

Oxytocin is a natural hormone that the body produces. Studies indicate that it allows people to develop strong and healthy bonds with each other. When a woman is in labor her body will produce more of it to help the baby be born. At the same time it helps to influence the strong bond that instantly occurs between most mothers and their newborn babies.

Not everyone produces enough Oxytocin on their own though and that can result in negative emotional health developing. The dose of this hormone to be given has to be carefully evaluated. It should only be administered by a medical professional through an injection. It is important for the heart rate and other vitals of the patient to be monitored after the injections are given.

Oxytocin Dosage

A low dose of this hormone should be used initially, and then the amount can be gradually increased if needed to help. There are many different side effects that have been associated with the use of Oxytocin so it is very important to disclose a complete medical history to the doctor.

Oxytocin Side Effects

The list of side effects include hemorrhaging, changes in heart rate, drops in blood pressure, pelvic pain, nausea, vomiting, brain damage, and seizures. The more severe side effects can occur if someone has been given too high of a dose in a 24 hour period.

Oxytocin Precautions

Anyone who has problems regulating their blood pressure, heart problems, obesity, or who is allergic to various medications needs to be very careful with the use of this product. Various medications can interfere with the value so it is important to disclose all of the other products someone is taking before doing so. This includes vitamins and herbal products.

When taking Oxytocin the patient needs to avoid consuming alcohol, using illegal drugs, smoking, or consuming high amounts of caffeine. Many patients are encouraged to also pursue counseling too when they get these injections to help reduce negative mental health feelings.
