Oxytocin Troches

Product Overview

Oxytocin Troches are compounded prescription lozenges designed for buccal (oral mucosal) absorption.

Oxytocin is a naturally occurring hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. It plays a role in:

• Social bonding
• Emotional connection
• Stress response regulation
• Sexual response
• Certain reproductive functions

At Angel Pharmacy, Oxytocin Troches are compounded according to your doctor’s prescription and individual treatment plan.

Oxytocin is a prescription-only medication and should only be used under medical supervision.

What Oxytocin Troches May Be Used For

Depending on your prescriber’s clinical judgement, oxytocin may be prescribed for:

• Support in intimacy or bonding concerns
• Relationship or emotional connection support
• Selected sexual health concerns
• Stress-related symptoms
• Certain integrative mental health protocols

Use is individualised and based on a comprehensive medical assessment.

How Oxytocin Works

Oxytocin is often referred to as the “bonding hormone” due to its involvement in social attachment and emotional regulation.

It acts on specific receptors in the brain and body to influence:

• Emotional bonding
• Trust and social interaction
• Stress modulation
• Sexual response pathways

When administered as a troche, oxytocin is absorbed through the oral mucosa, allowing systemic effects without swallowing the medication.

What Are Troches?

Troches are medicated lozenges designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth.

Advantages of troches may include:

• Absorption through the oral mucosa
• Avoiding first-pass liver metabolism
• Convenient dosing
• Personalised compounding strengths

Your prescriber will provide instructions on correct use.

Directions for Use

Use exactly as prescribed.

General guidance:

• Place troche between the cheek and gum
• Allow it to dissolve slowly
• Do not chew or swallow whole
• Avoid eating or drinking until fully dissolved

Dosage frequency and strength vary depending on your treatment plan.
