The show provides a patient perspective and the physician perspective. This topic is getting a lot of press at the moment because of a new FDA approved formulation called Spravato (esketamine).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"c2npj-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"c2npj-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"c2npj-0-0\">We compound a ketamine nasal spray (and have been for several years) but the newly approved medication is different than the &#8220;racemic&#8221; mixture that we compound. There is some thought in the medical community that the mixture formulation is more effective with less side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"c2npj-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"c2npj-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"c2npj-0-0\"> We have a number of patients with depression using ketamine nasal spray that have seen dramatic results. One patient recently told me that &#8220;since he has been using ketamine nasal spray, he wants to get out of bed each day! This is the best he has felt in 30 years!&#8221;. On the radio show, they call it transformational! And that is what we hear from patients! One of the benefits of ketamine nasal spray is that is works quickly-hours to days- instead of in months. This onset of action is very beneficial in a patient that may be suicidal.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"dldjf\" data-offset-key=\"fv1uk-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"fv1uk-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"fv1uk-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"dldjf\" data-offset-key=\"bu2is-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"bu2is-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"bu2is-0-0\">We are happy to discuss how to dose ketamine for depression with your prescriber.
