You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers! Here’s a run-down of FAQs:
❓How does it work?
✔️You breathe it in through a mask. It’s self-administered, so you’re in control the whole time. It takes effect in minutes and wears off within 5-10 minutes after you stop.
❓Will I be asleep?
✔️No. You’ll be awake and responsive, just more relaxed.
❓What does it feel like?
✔️Some people feel calmer, lighter, giggly, or a little tingly.
❓Is it safe?
✔️Yes! It’s been used safely for over 100 years. Negative side effects (like dizziness or nausea) are rare and wear off quickly once you stop inhaling the gas.
❓Can I drive home?
✔️Yes. Most patients can safely drive within 10 minutes.
❓What procedures is it used for?
✔️Commonly used for IUD insertions, biopsies, LEEPs, and other in-office procedures.
❓How much does it cost?
✔️$125 for most procedures, $200 for longer procedures like LEEP. Not covered by insurance at this time.
