Why Ketamine?
IV ketamine infusions offer the possibility of rapid relief from suffering.
Good efficacy
studies and treatment information show ketamine may provide relief for about 75% of patients with even severe and treatment-resistant symptoms.
Rapid relief
The effect of ketamine infusions are immediate, with patients often noticing positive results immediately and longer-lasting results after multiple treatments.
A long history of safe and effective use
Ketamine has been used in anesthesia for decades. It has a demonstrated history of safe and effective use as it does not depress breathing or lower blood pressure.
The possibility of long-lasting relief
The long-term benefits of ketamine therapies are not well studied, but studies and treatment results to date suggest the possibility of long-lasting relief from symptoms for some patients after minimal treatments and for most patients with a series of treatments followed by maintenance treatments.
When nothing else has worked
Ketamine is shown to provide relief for those with even severe, treatment-resistant symptoms.
