The Only FDA-Approved Ketamine-Based Treatment for Depression
- Spravato® (esketamine) is a nasal spray used together with an oral antidepressant for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Unlike traditional medications that can take 6–8 weeks, Spravato works on the glutamate system to restore neural connections quickly — helping you feel like yourself again, sooner.
- 60–70% response rate
- 52% remission rate
- Minimal side effects for most patients
Conditions Treated with Spravato®
Major Depressive Disorder
This condition is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a lack of interest in previously enjoyed activities. Spravato is particularly beneficial for individuals who have not found relief after trying at least two different antidepressant medications.
Depression with Active Suicidal Ideation
For those experiencing severe depression accompanied by thoughts of self-harm or suicide, Spravato has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of hospitalization, providing a crucial lifeline.
Adjunctive Therapy
Spravato can be effectively used in conjunction with your current antidepressant regimen, enhancing overall treatment outcomes and offering a more comprehensive approach to managing your mental health
Treatment Process (Step-by-Step)
The Science – How Spravato Works
- Traditional antidepressants focus on serotonin or norepinephrine. Spravato targets glutamate — the most abundant neurotransmitter — to rapidly rebuild synapses and improve brain flexibility. This is why relief can begin in hours and why therapy often becomes more effective.
- 4x faster onset than oral antidepressants
- 60–70% response rate in TRD
- 52% achieve full remission
