What produces oxytocin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

oxytocin: a pituitary octapeptide hormone C43H66N12O12S2 that stimulates especially the contraction of uterine muscle and the secretion of milk.

Oxytocin ( /ˌɒksɨˈtoʊsɪn/) is a mammalian hormone that acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. Oxytocin has the distinction of being the very first polypeptide hormone to be sequenced and synthesized biochemically, by Vincent du Vigneaud et al. in 1953.[1]

Oxytocin is best known for its roles in female reproduction. It is released in large amounts 1) after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, and 2) after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating birth and breastfeeding. Recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin's role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors.[2] For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the "love hormone".[3]

The word oxytocin is a corruption of the Greek ὼκυτοκίνη, ōkytokínē, "quick labor".

What is the difference between oxycodone and vicotine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Vicodin* is a brand name for hydrocodone, which is different than oxycodone. The two are quite similar as they are both derived from codeine. Oxycodone however is about 50% stronger than hydrocodone (vicodin).

If you take Oxycontin can you take Tylenol with codeine?

Asked by Wiki User

Probably not, but maybe. You need to be tested in a doctor's office for such an allergy. You don't want to go into anaphylactic shock, so don't do any self testing!

Depending on how often a user smokes JWH-018 and how much of JWH-018 is smoked, presence of JWH-018 metabolites can be detected up to 72 hour after the initial use. Usually just the presence of the metabolites confirms ingestion.

"There are no cut-off levels for RTL's Synthetic Cannabinoid Test. Toxicology result reporting for JWH-018 and JWH-073 will indicate either 'Detected' or 'Not Detected.' RTL's test will utilize the most sophisticated, sensitive and specific equipment and technology available, LC/MS/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry) to confirm JWH-018 and JWH-073 metabolites."

Redwood Toxicology Laboratory, one of the two labs that can detect JWH in urine, announced in August 2010 that they have develoved and are offering a drug test that can detect JWH metabloitles:

Redwoods website states, "RTL now offers lab-based testing for the detection of JWH-018 and JWH-073 metabolites in urine. JWH-018 and JWH-073 are the primary synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists responsible for the euphoric and psychoactive effects that imitate marijuana and are among the numerous compounds found in "herbal" incense or smoke blends. Conventional drug test panels will not detect the broad range of synthetic cannabinoids. They pass undetected in standard urine testing for such drugs as cocaine, marijuana, heroin and amphetamines. RTL's Synthetic Cannabinoid Test can be ordered with your standard panel to ensure JWH-018 and JWH-073 are detected."

Can Cymbalta oxycodone and lorazepam be taking together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I can only speak from my experience, but yes. I'm on 60mg cymbalta taken once per day and 80mg oxycontin (extended release oxycodone) taken 3 times per day (total 240mg). I also use 100mg lyrica taken twice per day and 20-40mg immediate release oxycodone for breakthrough pain. This is due to spinal nerve damage and neuropathic pain.

That being said, I have taken lorazepam in addition to the above, but only every once in a while, not continuously. And I took the base dose, unfortunately i cannot remember what the 'base' dose of lorazepam is.

Do standard employment drug test check for oxycodone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The standard 5-drug, or NIDA, test, will not detect oxycodone. However, unless you ask, and that would be stupid, there is no way of knowing which kind of drug test a particular employer uses. I know specifically of an employer that uses the standard test BUT adds a screen for hydrocodone (Vicodin). The only way to be sure you will pass is to submit a clean sample.

What does all oxycondone 15mg look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I used to get oxycodone 15 mg and from what I remember there are 2 versions, one is the generic version and the one is the name brand (both the same). I can tell you the generic version is small, green, and round. On one side it has nothing and on the other side it has the letter A, a line through the middle, and a 214 on the bottom. I don't know what the name brand one looks like sorry.

What is stronger 4mg of Dilaudid or 30mg of oxycodone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally speaking, hydromorphone, brand name dilaudid amongst others, is in fact stronger mg to mg than oxycodone (on theory), especially as hydromorphone is said to be 6-8 times the strength of morphine. But with that high a dose of oxycodone, I'd say the oxy would be stronger given its at such a high mg. However, if the hydromorphone was at a higher level say 10-20 mg, or even 4-6 mg IV push, the hydromorphone would definitely trump that oxy. But remember, each person is different and some people react better to certain drugs as opposed to others, regardless of FDA conversion strength equivalency ratios.

In a way, yes. If you have a psychological or physical addiction to the narcotic your mind can CREATE pain in an effort to get the narcotic. Also, your pain can seem worse after or between doses of medicine....it's called blowback or rebound pain.

Can etodolac and oxycodone be used together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes it they can be used together. The Etodolac will basically double the strength of the oxycodone at least from my experience. My step-mom was prescribed both of them after surgery at a time when i was experiencing massive migraines. She gave them to me and i took them together and separately to see what wa best and that was my experience so be very careful, because the combo is very potent
