Ketamine is the medication used for anesthesia. It delivers pain relief and sedates a person, while generally maintaining the normal functions of the heart and lungs.
Several studies have proven that ketamine can be an effective and rapid-acting medication for depression and thus may have therapeutic potential, according to the Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics journal. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved Spravato – a nasal spray with Esketamine as its main ingredient – as antidepressant medication.
