Spravato: Innovative Treatment for Depression
What is Spravato?
Spravato (esketamine) is a groundbreaking medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults who have not found relief with other antidepressant treatments. Administered as a nasal spray, Spravato offers a new approach to managing depression, particularly for those with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
How Does Spravato Work?
Spravato works differently from traditional antidepressants. It targets the NMDA receptor in the brain, which is thought to play a role in mood regulation and depression. By modulating this receptor, Spravato can help alleviate depressive symptoms more rapidly than conventional antidepressants, which often take weeks to show effects.
Who Can Benefit from Spravato?
Spravato is specifically designed for adults with:
- Major depressive disorder (MDD) who have not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressant treatments.
- Depressive symptoms in adults with MDD who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
What to Expect During Treatment
Spravato is administered under the supervision of a healthcare professional in a certified treatment center. The treatment process includes:
- Initial Assessment: A thorough evaluation to determine if Spravato is the right option for you.
- Administration: Spravato is given as a nasal spray, and you will be monitored for at least two hours after each dose to ensure safety and manage any potential side effects.
- Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments to assess your progress and adjust treatment as necessary.

Success Rates and Statistics
· Rapid Onset of Action: Clinical trials have shown that some patients experience significant improvement in depressive symptoms within 24 hours of the first dose.
· Response Rates: Approximately 70% of patients with treatment-resistant depression respond to Spravato when used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant, compared to about 52% who respond to oral antidepressants alone.
· Remission Rates: Around 52% of patients achieve remission (minimal or no symptoms) after four weeks of treatment with Spravato, compared to 31% with oral antidepressants alone.
Potential Side Effects
As with any medication, Spravato may cause side effects. Common side effects include:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Increased blood pressure
- Dissociation (feeling disconnected from reality)
Your healthcare provider will discuss all potential risks and benefits with you before starting treatment.
