How Spravato is different

Spravato is esketamine nasal spray and is available only through a restricted REMS program. It is administered under direct healthcare-provider supervision, with post-dose monitoring in a certified healthcare setting. It is not dispensed directly to patients for home use.

How ketamine is different

Ketamine may be used off-label by some practices for psychiatric conditions, often through IV, intramuscular, oral, or compounded formulations. The FDA has warned about potential risks with compounded ketamine products, including concerns when they are used outside a monitored healthcare setting.

Questions to ask before choosing care

  • Is the treatment FDA-approved for my diagnosis?
  • Will I be monitored by a healthcare provider after treatment?
  • Is the clinic certified for Spravato REMS requirements?
  • Can insurance or Medicaid benefits be reviewed?
  • What transportation plan is required after treatment?
  • Who manages ongoing psychiatric care and follow-up?
