How Does SPRAVATO® Work?

SPRAVATO® takes a novel approach to managing depression. Administered under the supervision of a healthcare provider, this nasal spray targets NMDA receptors in the brain, leading to quick and significant symptom relief. SPRAVATO® works through the glutamate system, the brain’s most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter, helping promote the formation of new neural connections through neuroplasticity—effectively helping reset disrupted brain patterns associated with depression.

Patients receive SPRAVATO® in our REMS-certified treatment center in Wyckoff, New Jersey, where they are closely monitored for at least two hours post-administration by our experienced medical team.

SPRAVATO® FAQs

What should I tell my healthcare provider before starting SPRAVATO®?
Tell your provider about your full medical history, including mental health conditions, substance use, blood pressure issues, and if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to be. List all medications and supplements you’re taking. We’ll review all of this during your initial consultation.
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is FDA-approved specifically for treatment-resistant depression and administered as a nasal spray under supervision in a REMS-certified clinic. IV ketamine is racemic ketamine, often used off-label for depression and typically delivered via infusion. SPRAVATO® has the distinction of being the first and only FDA-approved treatment specifically for treatment-resistant depression with this mechanism of action.
No. SPRAVATO® must be administered in a certified treatment center under medical supervision due to its potential side effects and safety monitoring requirements. This is required by the REMS program to ensure patient safety.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not recommended unless clearly needed. Talk to your provider about risks and benefits if you’re pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Avoid SPRAVATO® if you have a history of aneurysms, arteriovenous malformation, intracerebral hemorrhage, or allergic reactions to esketamine or ketamine. Your provider will assess if it’s safe for you during your evaluation.
You may notice improved mood, reduced depressive symptoms, or better functioning over time. Many patients experience noticeable improvement within 24 hours after the first dose, though response varies by individual. Clinical trials showed continued improvement through day 28 of treatment. Your provider will track progress with structured assessments and symptom scales.
If you miss a dose, contact our clinic to reschedule. Missing doses may affect the effectiveness of your treatment plan, especially during the induction phase.
Yes. Always inform your other healthcare providers that you are receiving SPRAVATO®, as it may affect other treatments or prescriptions.
If there’s little to no improvement after several sessions, your provider may adjust your treatment plan or explore alternative therapies. Response can vary between individuals. Clinical studies show that patients who respond to SPRAVATO® and continue maintenance treatment have significantly lower relapse rates.
Possibly. SPRAVATO® can raise blood pressure temporarily, so your provider will monitor it before and after each session. It’s important to disclose any history of hypertension. We check your blood pressure before treatment and again after your observation period.
Yes. SPRAVATO® may interact with sedatives, stimulants, antidepressants, and other drugs. Provide a full list of medications to your provider to minimize risk. SPRAVATO® can be used either with or without an oral antidepressant, and many patients continue their existing regimen alongside SPRAVATO®.
We recommend not eating for at least 2 hours before treatment and avoiding liquids for 30 minutes before treatment to minimize nausea. If you use nasal corticosteroids or decongestants, these should be administered at least 1 hour before SPRAVATO®.
Avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for the rest of the day. Arrange for a ride home and plan for rest post-treatment. SPRAVATO® can cause sedation, dissociation, and impaired judgment for several hours after administration.
No. You cannot drive until the next day, after a full night’s sleep. You must arrange transportation from our clinic. For your safety, someone must drive you home after each treatment session.
The most common side effects include dissociation (feeling detached from surroundings or altered perception), dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, increased blood pressure, feeling drunk or intoxicated, and decreased sensation. These effects typically occur during and shortly after treatment and resolve within hours. Our medical team monitors you throughout to ensure safety.
SPRAVATO® is a Schedule III controlled substance with potential for abuse and psychological dependence. However, when administered in a certified clinical setting under medical supervision following REMS protocols, the risk is carefully managed. We assess for substance use history during evaluation.

Clinical studies show that patients who respond to SPRAVATO® and continue maintenance treatment have significantly lower relapse rates compared to those who discontinue. Ongoing treatment helps sustain therapeutic benefits.
