Alfredo Nudman Medical PC in Cedarhurst, NY, offers spravato (esketamine) nasal spray treatment for adults struggling with severe forms of depression. This innovative approach provides a new pathway to managing symptoms when traditional oral antidepressants have not been effective. Our compassionate team is dedicated to supporting patients through every step of their journey toward mental wellness. We aim to help individuals achieve significant symptom reduction and an improved quality of life.
Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray is an FDA-approved prescription medication used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). It is also approved for depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) with acute suicidal ideation or behavior. Spravato works differently than many traditional antidepressants by targeting the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the brain, which can lead to rapid symptom reduction.
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation to determine if spravato is an appropriate treatment option for your specific needs. We will review your medical history, current medications, and discuss your mental health journey. This ensures a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual circumstances.
Spravato is administered as a nasal spray under the supervision of a healthcare provider in a certified treatment center. Each session typically lasts about two hours, including administration and a mandatory observation period. During this time, you will be monitored for any potential side effects.
Throughout your treatment, our team will closely monitor your progress and provide continuous support. We are here to answer your questions and address any concerns you may have. Your well-being and comfort are our top priorities during every visit.
Following your treatment sessions, we will work with you to develop a long-term care plan, often involving continued oral antidepressant therapy. Regular follow-up appointments will help us assess your sustained improvement and make any necessary adjustments. Our goal is to ensure lasting positive outcomes for your mental health.
