Understanding SPRAVATO®

What to Expect

SPRAVATO® TREATMENT

How Could SPRAVATO® Help?

SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is a prescription nasal spray that may be considered for certain patients with depression when other treatments have not provided enough relief.

✓
A Different Treatment Approach

SPRAVATO® works differently from traditional oral antidepressant medications.

✓
Administered in a Clinical Setting

Treatment is given under the supervision of a healthcare professional with appropriate monitoring.

✓
Personalized Treatment Planning

Your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, current medications, and treatment history before deciding whether SPRAVATO® may be appropriate.

✦

SPRAVATO® is a prescription treatment and requires evaluation by a qualified healthcare provider. Individual eligibility, response, and treatment recommendations may vary.

ABOUT THE TREATMENT

What is SPRAVATO®?

SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder with acute suicidal thoughts or behaviors.

It works by blocking the NMDA receptor on glutamate neurons, increasing glutamate signaling and activating downstream pathways that enhance synaptic plasticity and the formation of new neural connections in brain circuits responsible for mood, motivation, and emotional regulation.

This mechanism may lead to faster improvement in depressive symptoms compared to traditional antidepressants, especially in severe or urgent cases.

Because of its effects on the central nervous system—including sedation, dissociation, and blood pressure increases— SPRAVATO® is only administered in a certified healthcare setting under the FDA REMS safety program.
