What is Esketamine (SPRAVATO®)?

SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved nasal spray medication that provides fast, temporary relief from depression symptoms during the time it takes for prescribed depression medication to take effect.

Is SPRAVATO® Right for You?

If you have tried at least two different antidepressants without success, SPRAVATO® may be an effective option. This nasal spray works differently than traditional antidepressants by targeting glutamate, a key neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation. When used alongside an oral antidepressant, it has the potential to provide significant relief.
