Spravato (esketamine)
Spravato (esketamine)
Spravato is a prescribed medication used to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or actions.
Spravato (esketamine) is a derivative of ketamine and can only be used if prescribed by a Spravato REMS approved doctor, in a Spravato REMS approved treatment center and is dispensed by a Spravato REMS approved specialty pharmacy. Spravato must be taken in conjunction with an oral anti-depressant and is self-administered in the provider’s office. Spravato patients are then monitored for two hours and must be driven home by a responsible adult. Spravato patients are advised not to drive or operate machinery for at least 12 hours or until after a restful night’s sleep.
Spravato is a tremendously effective treatment and we are seeing amazing results every day.
