Spravato®, chemically known as esketamine, is a nasal spray approved by the FDA for use in conjunction with an oral antidepressant for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It is related to the drug ketamine, an anesthetic that has been used off-label for years as an antidepressant at lower doses.
While the exact mechanisms aren't entirely clear, it's believed that Spravato® affects the brain's neurotransmitters, particularly glutamate, to help restore synaptic connections in brain cells and improve mood more rapidly than traditional antidepressants.
Spravato® is self-administered as a nasal spray under the supervision of our trained healthcare professionals, ensuring safety and proper dosage.
Yes, there is an out-of-pocket "observation" fee for each Spravato® session. This fee is for professional oversight and monitoring during the administration of the medication.
A typical session, including post-administration monitoring, lasts about two hours.
Potential side effects exist, including dizziness, nausea, and an increase in blood pressure. Please consult with our healthcare providers to discuss any concerns.
The initial phase typically involves twice-weekly treatments for the first month. Maintenance phases might range from weekly to monthly sessions, tailored to individual needs.
Insurance coverage varies. We advise checking with your insurance regarding coverage and being aware of the out-of-pocket "observation" fee.
