Spravato® (Esketamine) Therapy
Breakthrough Treatment for Treatment-Resistant Depression
At [Your Clinic Name], we are proud to offer
Spravato® (esketamine) therapy, a cutting-edge, FDA-approved treatment for adults living with
treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and
major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. If traditional antidepressants have not provided sufficient relief, Spravato® may be an effective alternative.
What is Spravato®?
Spravato® is a nasal spray medication derived from ketamine, used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant. Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, Spravato® may provide relief within hours to days for some patients.
Who is Eligible for Spravato®?
You may be a candidate for Spravato® if you:
- Have major depressive disorder and have tried two or more antidepressants without sufficient improvement.
- Are experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors associated with depression.
- Are under the care of a licensed psychiatric provider.
- Do not have a history of substance misuse or medical conditions that contraindicate ketamine-based therapies.
How Spravato® Therapy Works
Spravato® is administered in our clinic under direct medical supervision. The treatment involves:
- A nasal spray self-administered by the patient in a safe, controlled environment.
- Monitoring by our clinical team for 2 hours post-administration to ensure safety and manage any side effects.
- An initial induction phase (typically twice weekly for four weeks), followed by a maintenance phase based on your response and treatment goals.
Benefits of Spravato®
• Rapid reduction in depressive symptoms
• Improved mood and mental clarity
• Reduced suicidal ideation in some patients
• Option for patients who have not responded to other treatments
What to Expect
During your visit:
• You will be seated in a private, comfortable treatment room.
• Vital signs and mental status will be monitored before, during, and after administration.
• You will need a trusted support person to drive you home, as you may feel drowsy or dizzy post-treatment.
