How Spravato® Works?

Spravato® contains esketamine, a form of ketamine that acts on the brain’s NMDA receptors. This is a different mechanism from standard antidepressants, helping restore healthy brain connections disrupted by depression. The result can be faster relief from depressive symptoms, especially when other treatments haven’t worked.

Spravato® is always administered in-office under medical supervision. After your dose, you will rest in a comfortable setting while our team monitors you for about two hours.

Why Choose Spravato®?

Fast-acting relief

Many patients notice improvement in mood within the first few treatments.

Hope when other treatments fail

Specifically designed for patients who haven’t improved with traditional antidepressants.

Helps in crisis

Approved for adults with major depression and acute suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

Safe and monitored

Given only in certified clinics with trained staff to ensure your comfort and safety.
