The Basics

What is SPRAVATO®?

SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression and certain cases of major depressive disorder with acute suicidal thoughts.

It's a nasal spray used in combination with an oral antidepressant, and is administered in a safe, monitored clinical setting. SPRAVATO® works differently than traditional antidepressants — and may provide relief when other treatments have not been effective.

Who is a good candidate?

SPRAVATO® may be an option if you have tried multiple antidepressants without adequate improvement, or if your provider determines you may benefit from a fast-acting treatment approach.

Insurance & cost

Many insurance plans, including Medicare and some Medicaid plans, cover SPRAVATO® for eligible patients. Our staff will verify coverage and review any potential out-of-pocket costs with you before treatment begins.

Will I be sedated or lose control?

SPRAVATO® can cause temporary dissociation or drowsiness, which is why it is administered under medical supervision. These effects typically resolve within a few hours, and you will be monitored throughout your visit to ensure safety and comfort.
