- Nasal Spray Formulation

What is Spravato?
Spravato is an FDA-approved nasal spray specifically designed for adults facing treatment-resistant depression. Unlike standard antidepressants, which can take weeks to work, Spravato may offer faster relief for those who haven’t responded to other treatments.
How It Works:
Spravato targets the brain’s NMDA receptors, part of the glutamate system involved in mood regulation. By acting on these receptors, Spravato helps restore connections in the brain, improving mood and reducing symptoms in a unique way.
Why Spravato?
For people struggling with treatment-resistant depression, Spravato provides a new, clinically tested option that may make a real difference. Combined with an oral antidepressant, it can bring meaningful relief when other approaches haven’t worked.
Introduction to Spravato®?
Treatment Process
Spravato is administered as a nasal spray in a comfortable, monitored setting. Each session takes about two hours, including time for observation to ensure your safety and comfort. Treatment usually starts with two sessions per week and may gradually decrease in frequency as you progress.
Safety and Side Effects
Spravato is given under medical supervision to ensure a safe experience. Common, temporary side effects may include dizziness, nausea, and a feeling of detachment, which generally wear off within hours. A clinical setting helps manage these effects, and patients typically feel back to normal by the next day.

To begin, book a consultation to assess whether Spravato is the right fit for you. During this initial visit, we’ll discuss your health history and outline the treatment plan. We also work with most insurance providers and offer guidance on payment options to make starting treatment as seamless as possible.
