What Is Spravato (Esketamine)?
Spravato is the brand name for esketamine, a prescription nasal spray approved by the FDA for use in adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). It is always used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant. Unlike traditional medications that can take weeks to work, Spravato targets the NMDA receptor in the brain, offering a novel and potentially rapid-acting approach for managing persistent depressive symptoms.
Your Spravato Treatment Journey
Comprehensive Initial Evaluation
Your journey begins with a thorough psychiatric assessment with one of our nurse practitioners. This evaluation helps us understand your treatment history and symptoms to confirm if Spravato is a suitable and safe option for your specific condition.
Supervised In-Office Treatment
During your appointment at our Lancaster office, you will self-administer the Spravato nasal spray under the direct supervision of a member of our clinical team. We ensure the process is handled correctly in a comfortable and private setting.
Professional On-Site Monitoring
Following administration, you will relax in our calm office for a mandatory observation period of at least two hours. Our team will monitor you for any potential side effects to ensure your safety and comfort before you are cleared to leave.
Post-Session Safety Requirements
Because Spravato can cause temporary drowsiness, dizziness, and dissociation, you cannot drive or operate heavy machinery for the rest of the day. Patients must arrange for transportation home from our office after every treatment session.
