Dosing Structure
Dose
50 mcg as needed
Frequency
1-3x daily as needed; or 30-60 min before activity
Notes
Intranasal only. Social/Cognitive: 40–67 mcg 1-2x per day, taken 30–60 minutes before social interactions. Intimacy: 33–67 mcg taken 30 minutes before intimacy. Dosing converted from IU (1 IU ≈ 1.67 mcg). Intranasal delivery is the primary research-supported route. No strict cycling; periodic breaks recommended.
