FDA-Approved Treatment
What is Spravato®?
Spravato® is a nasal form of esketamine, a derivative of ketamine, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment-resistant depression.
- Rapid relief often within hours of treatment
- More potent than ketamine, requiring lower doses
- Potentially fewer side effects than alternatives
- Must be used with traditional oral antidepressants.
Unique Mechanism of Action
Unlike conventional antidepressants that act on serotonin or norepinephine, esketamine increases the glutamate levels in the brain, stimulating many brain cells at once.
