Spravato® is the only FDA-approved ketamine-based treatment for depression
What is Spravato for?
Treatment-Resistant Depression
1 in 3 patients have failed multiple anti-depressant medications.
Spravato targets a different brain receptor that helps strengthen and rebuild brain connections in ways that a traditional anti-depressant can’t.
MDD with Acute Suicidal Ideation
Major depressive disorder can be extremely harmful to your quality of life. If you are currently taking an anti-depressant, and are experiencing thoughts of suicide, we recommend first calling 911 or 988.
When it’s safe to do so, contact our office to evaluate if Spravato can supplement your current medication to help you heal.
What does treatment look like?
Check-in and Vitals
Get settled in one of our comfy recliners and our staff will take your vitals to get a baseline.
Set the lighting to your preference and recline your chair.
Administer the Dose
Administer the nasal spray yourself with the assistance of our staff.
Don’t worry, it’s easy!
You’ll get 2 to 3 sprays in each nostril, 5 minutes apart.
Rest and Relax for 2-hours
The FDA requires you to be monitored for at least 2 hours. We take your blood pressure a few times during treatment and check to make sure you’re doing ok.
Most patients bring headphones, a journal, or a coloring book.
Leave with a Driver
The FDA also requires you to have a ride home. You can arrange help ahead of time or schedule an Uber.
You’ll likely feel ready to drive but, for safety, you aren’t able to drive yourself around until you get a full night’s sleep.
