A Different Approach to Depression Treatment
When traditional antidepressants haven’t provided enough relief, there may be another option. SPRAVATO® is an FDA-approved prescription nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression in adults, either by itself or together with an oral antidepressant. Treatment takes place in a comfortable, medically supervised setting where you can rest while your response is carefully monitored.
