Oxytocin-in-Uniject satisfied the standards of its temperature-time indicator (TTI) in severe home storage conditions, although that required resupply every 30 days—a logistically onerous programmatic
standard. Possible advances include: (1) incorporating TTIs with packaged batches of less expensive and more widely used conventional vials of oxytocin; (2) using TTIs calibrated more closely to the actual
temperature sensitivity of oxytocin; and (3) researching whether a lower dose of oxytocin would be
equally efficacious in preventing postpartum hemorrhage.
