Plasma oxytocin levels ([OT]p) were measured every 20 min during infusions of oxytocin. The initial dosage of 1 mU/min was incremented, if necessary, by 1 mU/min at 40-min intervals until sufficient contractility was obtained to effect cervical dilatation. The [OT]p rises linearly with dose for the first 40 min of the infusion. There is no difference between the 40- and 60-min sample values, suggesting that the peak [OT]p of each dose is achieved in 40 min. The increment in [OT]p required to produce effective contractility varies widely from 0.58 to 5.09 .mu.U/ml. The plasma clearance rate varied from 11.2 to 32.5 ml/kg per min. Approximately 40 min is required for any particular dose of oxytocin to reach a "steady-state" [OT]p and the maximal uterine contractile response. The design of regimens for the augmentation or induction of labor should be based on this knowledge.
