What Is Spravato® (Esketamine)?
Spravato® is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray that represents a breakthrough in depression treatment. Unlike traditional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, Spravato® targets the glutamate system — the brain's most abundant neurotransmitter — providing rapid relief for patients with treatment-resistant depression.
Different Mechanism
Targets glutamate (NMDA receptors), not serotonin
Rapid Relief
Improvement often within hours or days
FDA-Approved
Specifically for treatment-resistant depression
Neural Restoration
Helps rebuild brain connections
