  1. What Is Ketamine Prescribed For? Understanding the medical applications and therapeutic uses of ketamine in modern healthcare.

  2. MEDICAL APPLICATION Ketamine as an Anesthetic Ketamine has been FDA-approved since the 1970s as a trusted short-acting anesthetic agent for both human and veterinary medicine. It plays a vital role in inducing and maintaining anesthesia during various diagnostic and surgical procedures.

  3. MENTAL HEALTH Ketamine for Mental Health Treatment Treatment-Resistant Depression FDA-Approved Esketamine Anxiety & PTSD In 2019, the FDA approved Spravato® nasal spray, containing esketamine (the S-enantiomer of ketamine), specifically for treatment-resistant depression. Ketamine therapy shows promise for anxiety disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder, administered via IV infusion or nasal spray under careful medical supervision. Off-label ketamine therapy offers hope for patients unresponsive to traditional antidepressants, with rapid-acting relief often observed within hours.
