Spravato (Esketamine)

Spravato, also known by its generic name Esketamine, is an innovative medication designed to treat depression, particularly in individuals who have not found relief with traditional antidepressant treatments. Unlike typical antidepressant pills, Spravato is administered as a nasal spray, offering a different method of delivery to address symptoms of depression.

• Supervised Treatment: Spravato is not something that can be taken at home. It is administered under the careful supervision of a healthcare professional in a clinical setting. This ensures the safety and well-being of the patient throughout the process.
• Combination Therapy: Spravato is often used alongside an oral antidepressant, creating a combined treatment approach that enhances its effectiveness in alleviating symptoms.

• Targeting the Brain: Spravato works differently from traditional antidepressants by affecting the neurotransmitter glutamate. This neurotransmitter plays a key role in communication between brain cells and is believed to help regulate mood and emotions.
• Rapid Results: One of the most promising aspects of Spravato is its potential for rapid improvement in depression symptoms. While many antidepressants can take months to show noticeable effects, Spravato has the potential to provide relief within weeks.

Spravato is specifically designed for individuals who suffer from treatment-resistant depression—those who have tried other antidepressants without success. It offers new hope for patients who have not experienced significant improvement with traditional therapies.
