What's so special about esketamine?
Ketamine is primarily recognized as an anesthetic drug. While it’s also known for its recreational use as a psychedelic street drug, when administered under medical supervision, it can be used safely.
In March 2019, the FDA approved a nasal spray version of ketamine known as esketamine. This formulation has shown promise in treating depression due to its effects.
Having adequate coverage is essential
Esketamine nasal spray for depression is included in the coverage of numerous major insurance companies.
At OneMed, our Care Team alleviates the burden of dealing with insurance matters. We handle all the necessary tasks on your behalf, including phone calls, emails, and paperwork.
Navigating insurance companies for coverage can be challenging, regardless of whether you’re dealing with depression or not.
What sensations are you experiencing?
As a psychedelic drug, esketamine nasal spray elicits distinct sensations compared to other substances such as alcohol. Throughout the treatment, you might experience dizziness, euphoria, or a sense of intoxication. Following the session, you may feel groggy and disoriented. It’s important to note that you shouldn’t engage in any hazardous activities for the remainder of the day, including driving a vehicle. Therefore, it’s advisable to have someone accompany you to drive you home after the treatment.
Where can I receive treatment?
Please note that esketamine nasal spray must be administered at a REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation System) certified center by a certified provider.
