## Description

These are compressed lozenges for sublingual use, containing synthetic oxytocin in a base that dissolves slowly. Packs hold thirty troches in one of two strengths — 50 IU or 120 IU per troche, about 100 µg or 240 µg of peptide under the usual 1 IU ≈ 2 µg conversion. The active is the same cyclic nonapeptide, closed by a Cys1–Cys6 disulfide, that we also offer as lyophilised powder and as a nasal solution.

Sublingual and buccal formats feature in this field because swallowing is not an option for this molecule: gastric and pancreatic proteases break down a cyclic nonapeptide, and it crosses the intestinal lining poorly. The floor of the mouth, by contrast, has thin, permeable, well-perfused tissue that drains without first passing the liver. Whether a peptide of roughly 1007 g/mol gets across in meaningful amounts depends on the compound, and quantifying that is the job of route-comparison studies — where contact time, dilution by saliva and how fast the base dissolves all affect the outcome. The slow-dissolving base is thus part of the test article, not mere packaging. Keep packs cool, dry and away from humidity, which softens compressed lozenges.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much oxytocin does one troche contain?

Around 100 µg in the 50 IU troche and around 240 µg in the 120 IU troche, based on the standard 1 IU ≈ 2 µg conversion for synthetic oxytocin. With thirty troches per pack, that totals about 3 mg or 7.2 mg of peptide.

### Why are the strengths given in IU instead of mg?

Oxytocin has traditionally been measured by its biological activity rather than by weight, and international units remain the customary way to express it. Converting is simple — about 2 µg per IU — but IU labels persist because that is how the literature describes the peptide.

### Can I obtain a certificate of analysis?

Yes. The oxytocin used for each lot is analysed by reverse-phase HPLC to ≥99% purity with identity confirmed by mass spectrometry, and the lot COA is available on request. Please quote the lot number on the pack.
