HOW IT WORKS

How Spravato Works

Spravato is a medication used to treat depression, specifically treatment-resistant depression. It contains the active ingredient esketamine, which is a type of ketamine that has been modified for medical use.

Spravato is administered as a nasal spray, and works by changing the way certain chemicals in the brain, such as glutamate, function. This helps to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.

The medication is typically used as part of a larger treatment plan, which may include other forms of therapy and support. It is only available through a prescription, and must be administered under medical supervision.

HOW SPRAVATO HELPS

Spravato helps by changing the way certain chemicals in the brain, such as glutamate, function. This results in an improvement in mood and a reduction in symptoms of depression. Spravato works more quickly than traditional antidepressants, with many patients noticing an improvement in their symptoms within hours or days of their first dose. It has been shown to be effective in a significant number of patients who have not responded to other forms of treatment, providing a new option for those who have struggled with depression for years. However, it is important to note that Spravato is not a cure for depression and should be used as part of a larger treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication management, and other forms of support.
