Esketamine
Alternative Names: Spravato
Esketamine is a prescription nasal spray used for treatment-resistant depression, usually when several standard antidepressants have not worked well enough. It works differently than typical antidepressants and may help some people feel improvement faster, sometimes within days. Because it can cause dizziness, sedation, dissociation, and temporary increases in blood pressure, it must be given in a certified medical setting with monitoring afterward. It is usually used along with an oral antidepressant, not as a casual or first-line treatment.
