Is Spravato the same as ketamine?
Not exactly.
Spravato (esketamine) is derived from ketamine but is specifically formulated as a nasal spray and administered in a controlled medical setting.
Because it is more targeted, it may be used at lower doses and can offer a different treatment experience than IV ketamine.
