What Spravato® Treatment Involves?
Spravato® is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray used alongside an oral antidepressant to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression and certain cases of major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Unlike traditional antidepressants that may take several weeks to work, Spravato® acts differently within the brain and may provide symptom relief more rapidly for eligible patients.
Because Spravato® can temporarily affect alertness, blood pressure, and perception, every treatment is administered under the supervision of trained medical professionals. During each appointment, our team monitors your response to help ensure your comfort and safety throughout the process.
