The FDA-approval of SPRAVATO® (esketamine) makes available a new treatment for certain types of depression. If you have not found relief with traditional antidepressants, this science-based option, provided to you under medical supervision, may help.
Understanding how the approval process works for
SPRAVATO and what it means for safety and effectiveness can help you feel more confident when you explore advanced treatment options. At
Right Track Medical Group, our team focuses on treatments that support overall wellness, longevity, and quality of life while maintaining the highest standards of safety.
What Does FDA Approval Mean?
FDA approval indicates that the agency has carefully reviewed a medication for safety, effectiveness, and quality. The FDA approved SPRAVATO in 2019 for adults with
treatment-resistant depression when used in combination with an oral antidepressant.
In 2020, the FDA expanded approval of the drug to include adults experiencing depressive symptoms associated with major depressive disorder and acute suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
We administer SPRAVATO in a medical setting, where we closely observe your treatment. This structured process ensures your safety and allows us to monitor your progress and adjust your care plan to meet your ongoing needs.
How Does SPRAVATO Work Differently From Traditional Treatments?
Most antidepressants affect serotonin, dopamine, or norepinephrine levels. These chemicals influence mood and emotional regulation. The FDA-approved esketamine treatment works through a different pathway involving glutamate, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in brain signaling and neural connections.
This mechanism has generated significant interest in SPRAVATO, since the therapy may produce improvements within days rather than weeks.
Safety, Monitoring, and a Structured Treatment Process
We only administer the FDA-approved SPRAVATO medication through a specialized safety program called the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy. Before you return home, we will observe your response for about two hours. This structured environment allows us to monitor you for expected side effects. Regular follow-up visits help us track your progress and maintain continuity of care.
Choosing a healthcare provider who has strong clinical experience and prioritizes safety can significantly impact your treatment. At Right Track Medical Group, you benefit from a comprehensive care environment that supports your comfort and responsiveness.
