SPRAVATO QUICK INFO
|
What is Spravato? |
The chemical ketamine is used as an anesthetic. In this formulation it combines both the right-handed (designated “R”) and left-handed (called “S”) forms of the molecule. This means they are mirror images of each other, similar to how your left hand is a mirror image of your right hand. The left- and right-hand forms can have different effects in the body. Spravato contains only the left-handed version, giving the drug its generic name esketamine. Spravato works by increasing the levels of glutamate in the brain. Glutamate is a key chemical messenger molecule that excites brain nerve cells, lifting and improving mood. It also plays a role in learning and forming memories.
