Why Choose Vortex?
What is SPRAVATO® (esketamine)?
SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved nasal spray containing esketamine, a form of ketamine. It is prescribed for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and is used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant at a certified treatment center like Vortex Psychiatry.
Who is a candidate for SPRAVATO® treatment?
Candidates for SPRAVATO® are adults diagnosed with major depressive disorder who have not responded adequately to at least two different oral antidepressant treatments. A thorough psychiatric evaluation at our Danville office, a short drive from Pleasanton is required to determine eligibility.
How is SPRAVATO® administered?
SPRAVATO® is a self-administered nasal spray used in our certified healthcare setting. Due to its potential for side effects, patients are monitored by our healthcare team for at least two hours after administration and must arrange for transportation home.
How quickly can I expect to see results?
One of the key benefits of SPRAVATO® is its potential for rapid action. Some patients notice an improvement in their depressive symptoms within hours to days of their first treatment, though individual results vary.
