SPRAVATO® Treatment
in Danville, CA

What Is SPRAVATO® Esketamine Therapy?
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Unlike conventional antidepressants that can take weeks to work, SPRAVATO® acts on the brain’s glutamate system to help restore synaptic connections. This mechanism can lead to rapid improvements in mood and depressive symptoms.

Benefits of SPRAVATO® Treatment
Rapid Onset of Relief
One of the primary advantages of SPRAVATO® is its potential for fast-acting relief. Some patients report a noticeable improvement in their depressive symptoms within hours to days of their first treatments, unlike traditional antidepressants that may take weeks.
Effective for Treatment-Resistant Depression
SPRAVATO® is specifically indicated for those who have not found success with other therapies. It provides a viable and effective option when other antidepressants have failed, offering new hope for managing persistent depression.
Novel Neurological Mechanism
This treatment works by modulating glutamate, a key neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation. By targeting a different neural pathway than most oral antidepressants, it can help restore brain cell connections and improve neural plasticity.
