What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a synthetic pharmaceutical compound, classified as a dissociative anesthetic. It is one of the most widely used drugs in modern medicine and is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines. It was developed in 1963, FDA approved in 1970, and adopted by many hospitals and medical offices because of its rapid onset, proven safety, and short duration of action.

In the last two decades, ketamine has been increasingly clinically applied at subanesthetic doses as an off-label treatment for various chronic treatment-resistant mental health conditions, such as depression, alcoholism, substance dependencies, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and other psychiatric diagnoses.

Our prescriber, Husam Alex Salih, now offers SPRAVATO®, the only FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. It reduces depression symptoms when two or more oral antidepressants haven’t worked. Please schedule an appointment with Alex to find out if you are a candidate for it.
