The Best Way to Administer Ketamine

Ketamine has been found to be a safe and effective treatment for depression when administered via more than half a dozen different methods or “routes”. Of these, intravenous (IV) ketamine — that is, injected into a vein — is the most common, and the bulk of depression research conducted with ketamine is with this route of administration. This is because it allows for very precise dosing since we know with perfect accuracy how much gets into your blood circulation and therefore your brain. In medical terminology, it has 100% bioavailability.

After IV, the most common are intranasal (IN) ketamine, followed by sublingual and oral ketamine. Effective figures drop off after Ketamine IV with IN (25-50%), sublingual (~20-30%), and oral (~10-20%) ketamine.

In addition to bioavailability, another important characteristic is how fast the effects kick in and how long they last. Vitality Medical Infusions offers the “Gold-Standard” of Ketamine with Intravenous (IV) Infusion.

Yale Medicine Says Ketamine IV is an Option for Depression

When someone has depression, there are changes in the brain’s circuitry, including how neurons communicate with one another. Ketamine seems to allow for a regrowth of synapses according to the Yale School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry.

The Yale School of Medicine is yet another example of esteemed medical institutions endorsing Ketamine IV.

When you struggle with depression, anxiety, and pain … think Ketamine IV. The IV application of Ketamine is the “Gold-Standard” on how it is administered. Pills, sprays, and other substitutes can’t match the efficacy of Ketamine IV.

Call Vitality Medical Infusions for the available Ketamine IV, IV Vitamin Infusions, and Ozone treatments. We take care of your pain.

In this video, Yale Medicine psychiatric specialists discuss how ketamine can help treat depression.

Ketamine: non-toxic fast and sustained-effect antidepressant

New treatments for depression are needed that act rapidly and also have sustained effects. Ketamine differs from most antidepressants because it produces antidepressant effects within hours instead of weeks like most other medications. This is enormously helpful for patients, potentially reducing their risk of death and su***de in the short term.

Vitality Medical Infusions offers the “Gold Standard” Ketamine IV. Our medically trained staff supervise and administer Ketamine through IV.

IV Treatments for Depression, Anxiety, Pain, Migraines, Anti-Aging, Healing after Surgery, Clearer and Brighter Skin. All therapies administered by a CRNA, RN, NP, or MD.

A new Northwestern Medicine study identifies mechanisms that enable ketamine to work rapidly and also have long-term effects.

How Ketamine “Reshapes” the Brain

Scientists believe that depression may be due to a connection problem between nerve cells in areas of the brain that regulate mood. Research suggests that people with long-term depression may have fewer of the synapses that allow these nerve cells to communicate.

Medically supervised IV ketamine infusion therapy has been found to reactivate existing connections and to grow new ones, helping the brain to “shake loose” negative thoughts and shift out of depression. Because the brain has actually been “reshaped,” it may explain why antidepressant medications that didn’t work in the past, may help after ketamine therapy.

Although ketamine can be administered in many ways (oral, nasal spray and injection), intravenous (IV) infusion is the most extensively studied method to date. “Most patients will require multiple infusion sessions to experience symptom relief, which may vary from less than one week to 7-8 weeks or longer,” says Dr. Gao.

Vitality Medical Infusions offers "the gold standard" of Medical IV Ketamine. Call us for more information today.

Recent research shows that, for some people, ketamine therapy may relieve depressive symptoms and restore quality of life when other treatments have failed.

Botox for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating in certain areas of the body, such as the armpits, palms, or feet. It can be embarrassing and interfere with daily activities. Many people suffer from excessive underarm sweating regardless of their body temperature. People with hyperhidrosis may present severe underarm sweating even when they are cold or stressed. Sometimes topical antiperspirants are not enough to combat axillary hyperhidrosis.

Injections of botulinum toxin (Botox) can be an effective treatment option for hyperhidrosis. Botox is injected into the underarms and blocks the signals from the nerves responsible for sweating, stopping the sweat glands from producing too much sweat. Hyperhidrosis may also occur in other parts of the body. Overactive sweat glands are common on the hands, forehead, and feet. In all cases, the treatment with botulinum toxin is an effective approach that can improve the patient’s quality of life.

Contact Vitality Medical Infusions and speak to our experienced healthcare provider. She will review your medical history and conditions to decide if this is the best hyperhidrosis treatment for you.
