What is Ketamine and how is it used medically?

Back to FAQs

Ketamine is a widely used anesthetic with an established safety profile. If you’ve undergone surgery requiring anesthesia, your provider may have used Ketamine.

Recent research has revealed applications for Ketamine beyond its traditional anesthetic use.

Ketamine can positively impact brain function by stimulating the formation of new synapses between neurons through a process called synaptogenesis. This enhancement of neural pathways can help address serious mental health conditions like depression and PTSD.
