    What is Spravato®?

    Spravato® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray designed for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Unlike traditional antidepressants, which can take weeks to work, Spravato® targets a different pathway in the brain and may provide rapid relief for some patients. 

    How Spravato® is Administered

    Administered under medical supervision, this innovative treatment offers new hope for those who haven’t found success with other therapies.
    SPRAVATO® is only available through a restricted program called the SPRAVATO® REMS (5.5).

    What is Esketamine?

    Esketamine is a fast-acting, FDA-approved medication derived from ketamine, used to treat treatment-resistant depression by targeting new pathways in the brain.

    I know how it feels to be depressed. I've been there. For me, this is what worked.

    I'm Karen. I was born in Mexico City. I came to Chicago when I was eight with my family. I live with my dog and my boyfriend. I have been working in corporate America for fifteen years. I love being active, bicycling outdoors or going to the gym. I love to paint. I love to draw. I like to take my time with my makeup.

    Nicole

    There were days where I would just break down crying in my bathroom because I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t get up. I couldn’t take a shower. I couldn’t physically do anything.

    It was bad. I was kind of cruel towards my mom at times. And there were points where she would just cry because of things I said or things I did. And I didn’t understand that I was being cruel. I didn’t understand that at all. I just lashed out.

Clinical Trials

Spravato® has been studied in adults with treatment-resistant depression as an add-on to oral antidepressant therapy. Clinical trials showed that patients taking Spravato® experienced a greater reduction in depressive symptoms within four weeks compared to those on a placebo with an oral antidepressant. After 16 weeks of treatment, patients who continued Spravato® therapy had better outcomes than those who discontinued.
