Spravato or esketamine was derived from ketamine, which has a long history of helping mood disorders. Spravato was made into a nasal spray that you self administer. It can only be given in a doctor’s office.
Spravato can only be administered in a licensed healthcare setting with medical professionals trained to prescribe and distribute it. The Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program for Spravato mandates that healthcare facilities that administer the medicine be certified.
