What Is Spravato?

Spravato is an in-office treatment that’s similar to ketamine and comes at you through your nose.

We are excited to offer this treatment as an in-network provider. It is a very affordable option for those with insurance who would like try ketamine therapy and see if it’s right for them, their family members or friends!

This treatment is for those with depression who have failed at least two antidepressants. Patients will be required to have someone drive them home and will need to stay in our office for two hours. The initial treatment consists of twice-weekly treatments for four weeks and then treatment once weekly. Ongoing treatment is usually required, which is what we also see with IV ketamine. The long-term safety study showed that esketamine was generally tolerable, with no new safety signals with dosing up to 52 weeks.

Spravato VS. Antidepressants

How Antidepressants Work

Today’s most commonly used oral antidepressants are thought to treat depression by increasing levels of neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine) in areas of the brain that affect mood.

How Spravato Works

SPRAVATO® targets the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor and is believed to work differently than currently available oral antidepressants. The exact way that SPRAVATO® works is unknown.
