What is Spravato®?

Spravato® (esketamine) is a prescription nasal spray medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for adults with:

• Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD)
• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or behaviors

Spravato is used in combination with an oral antidepressant and must be administered in a certified medical facility under professional supervision.

How Spravato Works?

Unlike traditional antidepressants that affect serotonin or norepinephrine, Spravato works on the NMDA receptor pathway in the brain, which helps regulate mood and emotional processing.

This mechanism may help:

                 • Restore neural connections in the brain
                 • Improve communication between brain cells
                 • Provide faster relief of depressive symptoms for some patients

Who May Benefit From Spravato Treatment?

Spravato may be recommended for patients who:

 • Have not responded to two or more antidepressant medications
 • Experience severe or persistent depression
 • Need an alternative treatment approach for depression symptoms
