FDA-Approval of SPRAVATO®

FDA-Approval of SPRAVATO®

Treatment-resistant depression is unfortunately common and difficult to treat. It can interfere with your daily life and make even simple tasks feel impossible. The FDA-approval of SPRAVATO® (esketamine) for adults with treatment-resistant depression and major depressive disorder with suicidality has given many patients newfound hope. SPRAVATO® works differently from other antidepressants and can bring relief if other antidepressants have not worked for you.

What FDA-Approval Implies

SPRAVATO® acts through a different mechanism in the brain than common antidepressants used to treat depression. It can quickly improve your mood and help you better manage your symptoms. The treatment is delivered in a doctor’s office to ensure patient safety.

Who May Consider SPRAVATO®

Depression often makes people feel like they are alone in this world. After trying many treatments that have not given the desired results, people may feel hopeless. However, there is hope. You may be eligible for SPRAVATO® if you:

  • Are suffering from treatment-resistant depression
  • Are currently taking antidepressants but not noticing significant relief
  • Are looking for an innovative treatment option to treat your depressive disorder
  • Want your treatment to be supervised by qualified and experienced professionals

During an initial consultation, our qualified and experienced professionals can review your medical history, assess your condition, discuss your needs and goals, and determine if SPRAVATO® is right for you.

A Structured, Supportive Therapy Experience

SPRAVATO® treatment occurs in a clinical setting, where the patient receives treatment under close therapist monitoring. This means that a patient under SPRAVATO® treatment can expect to:

  • Get a complete assessment to determine if the drug is right for the patient
  • Administer treatment under supervision and in a supportive setting
  • Have their response monitored after each session
