Research shows that a large number of patients with a moderate or severe depressive episode do not respond to typically used antidepressants.
Therefore, the possibility of increasing it is sought in drugs with a different mechanism of action than those used so far, and one such substance is Spravato. Treatment with Spravato is a modern therapy that can improve severe depression within hours of drug administration.
If a patient has been taking antidepressants for several weeks or even months, which in his case are ineffective, Spravato is able to improve the patient’s mental state within a few hours, which is a breakthrough compared to typical drugs.
What Is The Spravato Product?

You must consult a specialist if you need to take such medicine. Remember that your doctor or other healthcare professional will supervise you each time you use this Spravato product.
How Is Spravato Different From Other Drugs, And What Is Its Mechanism Of Action?
The antidepressant effect of Spravato is based on a different mechanism than in the case of other drugs. Conventional antidepressants increase the levels of naturally occurring chemicals such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.
These chemicals are messengers that are responsible for transmitting signals between nerve cells. A greater amount of these neurotransmitters enables better communication between nerve cells and positively affects the regulation of mood and emotions.
Treatment with Spravato is a modern method of treatment that increases the release of glutamate, the most widespread chemical messenger in the brain, thus affecting more nerve cells at the same time. This contributes to the improvement of synaptic function in areas of the brain responsible for regulating mood and emotional behavior.
The rapid improvement after using the drug is associated with the restoration of adequate dopaminergic transmission in areas involved in the feeling of reward and motivation.
Drug-resistant Depression
Spravato has proven efficacy in the treatment of depression. Drug resistance is defined as a lack of response to therapy with two consecutive antidepressants belonging to different classes, used in the correct dose and for a sufficient period of time, such as at least 6 weeks each of these drugs.
