IV Ketamine
Ketamine - a Wonder Drug
Ketamine was introduced as a human anesthetic in 1966, and received FDA approval in 1970. Ketamine produces an unusual state, sometimes referred to as “dissociative anesthesia”, patients might appear awake with preserved airway reflexes and respiratory drive, but are unable to respond to sensory input. Given at a subanesthetic dose, Ketamine provides excellent analgesia with an impressive safety profile, providing value across diverse settings, including emerging but often-used off-label roles in pain medicine and treatment-resistant depression.
Today, Ketamine is used in outpatient clinic and emergency room settings for:
- Chronic Pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Migraine and Cluster Headaches
- Neuropathy and Neuralgia
- Spinal Cord conditions
- Phantom Limb Pain
- Regional Pain Syndrome
- Lyme disease
- Depression
- Anxiety
- OCD
- PTSD
- Bipolar
- Suicidal Ideation
In 2019, an intranasal form of Ketamine, called Esketamine (marketed as Spravato) was approved by the FDA for treatment-resistant depression, and we are an authorized Treatment Center.
