WHAT IS ESKETAMINE?
Esketamine is a mediation for adults with treatment resistant depression (TRD). Esketamine treatment may be warranted for adults that have struggled with major depressive disorder who have not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressants of adequate dose and duration previously.

The SPRAVATO nasal spray is administered as an outpatient treatment that takes about two hours. The treatment requires physician/staff supervision. The major side effects of the treatment are possible high blood pressure, nausea, and sedation/disassociation. (The side effects don't happen often.)
