What Is IM Ketamine?

Ketamine is a medication that has been used safely in medical settings for decades. In lower, carefully controlled doses, it has been shown to rapidly reduce symptoms of depression and other mood disorders by working on glutamate pathways in the brain.

 Precise dosing

 Predictable absorption

 Close clinical monitoring
