1.1. With use of intrauterine catheters to record uterine activity, the effect of intranasal administration of synthetic oxytocin was studied in a series of 23 pregnant subjects, 16 of whom were at or beyond term, the remainder begin at 38, 36, 34, 30, 28, 22, and 12 weeks, respectively.2.2. The drug was applied either in drops or in the form of a fine spray from a small plastic squeeze bottle.3.3. Following administration of the drug, any increase in uterine activity usually appears within 5 to 7 minutes.4.4. The peak activity is usually achieved within 10 to 20 minutes, after which there usually begins a slow decline toward the level of spontaneous activity.5.5. A single instantaneous intranasal application of the drug represents a very modest dose, the effect being roughly comparable to that brought about by the continous intravenous infusion of 2 mU of oxytocin per minute for 5 minutes.6.6. The contractions stimulated by oxytocin are indistinguishable in all characteristics from spontaneously occurring contractions.7.7. The amount of response induced by intranasal oxytocin is principally dependent upon the degree of sensitivity to oxytocin which the uterus has previously achieved.
