Struggling with depression that hasn’t improved with oral antidepressants? Spravato may be an option for you.

Spravato, also known as esketamine, is a FDA-approved nasal spray medication. It belongs to a class of drugs called NMDA receptor antagonists and works by targeting glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation. By modulating the activity of glutamate, Spravato aims to alleviate symptoms of depression.
