Nasal Ketamine Treatment in Franklin, TN

What Is Nasal Ketamine?

Tennessee Ketamine & Wellness Center is REMS*-certified to provide SPRAVATO™ (esketamine) CIII, a nasal spray approved for use in conjunction with an oral antidepressant in adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). People who are currently struggling with major depressive disorder (MDD) may have TRD if they have not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressants of adequate dose and duration in the current depressive episode.

SPRAVATO™ was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration on March 5, 2019, and carries a Boxed WARNING because of the risks for sedation, dissociation, and abuse and misuse. SPRAVATO™ is only available through a restricted program called the SPRAVATO™ REMS Program and can only be administered at healthcare settings certified in the SPRAVATO™ REMS Program and to patients enrolled in the REMS Program.

*Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy

Certified Treatment Center

As a certified treatment center, Tennessee Ketamine & Wellness Center medical staff have been trained to prescribe, dispense, and administer SPRAVATO™ and have established processes and procedures in accordance with the REMS Program requirements. A board-certified anesthesiologist will provide direct supervision as the patient self-administers SPRAVATO™ and will monitor every patient after every dose for at least 2 hours for resolution of sedation and dissociation time and changes in vital signs.

All patients will require transportation from Tennessee Ketamine & Wellness Center following the observation period, as they should not drive or operate machinery until the day after a treatment session, following a restful sleep.

Nasal ketamine can be administered either through the Spravato program or through generic nasal ketamine; your physician will discuss the pros and cons of each alternative.
