How SPRAVATO® Works

Unlike traditional antidepressants that target serotonin, SPRAVATO® works by blocking NMDA receptors and increasing glutamate, the brain’s most abundant neurotransmitter. This leads to increased BDNF production and improved brain plasticity, which may explain its rapid onset of action.

  • Twice weekly treatments
  • Dose determination and optimization
  • Close monitoring of response and side effects
2. Maintenance Phase (Ongoing):
  • Weekly or bi-weekly treatments
  • Individualized scheduling based on response
  • Long-term monitoring and support
3. Treatment Session Process:
  1. Pre-treatment assessment and vital signs

  4. Assessment before discharge home
