What Is Spravato Esketamine?
Spravato esketamine is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation. Unlike conventional antidepressants, it targets the NMDA receptor, rapidly increasing neural connectivity in the brain. This unique mechanism helps to ‘rewire’ brain pathways, fostering healthier thought patterns and providing faster symptom relief.
What to Expect During Treatment
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Before your session, we recommend avoiding food for at least two hours and liquids for 30 minutes. Upon arrival, our team will check your vital signs, including blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen levels, to ensure you are ready for treatment. You will be settled into a private, comfortable room designed for your relaxation.
Medication Administration
Spravato is self-administered as a nasal spray under the direct supervision of a healthcare provider. Each dose is carefully measured, typically consisting of two or three devices, with a five-minute rest period between sprays for optimal absorption. This ensures precise delivery in a controlled clinical setting.
Post-Dose Monitoring
Following administration, you will remain in our clinic for at least two hours for close monitoring. Our certified clinical professionals will observe you for any immediate effects such as changes in blood pressure, sedation, or dissociation. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities throughout this observation period.
After Your Session
A healthcare provider will determine when you are safe to leave after the monitoring period. You must arrange for reliable transportation home, as you cannot drive or operate machinery until the next day after a full night’s rest. We also strongly recommend combining Spravato with ongoing oral antidepressants and therapy for best results.
