About Ketamine
​
Intravenous (IV) ketamine has been used for many years as an anesthetic drug, and in recent years has found to be effective for the treatment of certain mental health and chronic pain conditions.
IV ketamine must be prescribed by your treating psychiatrist or chronic pain physician and needs to be administered carefully in a monitored setting. The staff physicians at Restore are all academic specialist anesthesiologists and are very familiar with this drug and its monitoring needs.
​
When administered in a medical setting with close monitoring and infrequent dosing, there is virtually no potential for addiction or abuse of IV ketamine. To find out more please call or email and ask to speak to one of our physicians
​
Additionally we provide intranasal ketamine (Esketamine) monitoring and administration as an alternative to IV ketamine. Call and speak to us about which option may work best for your condition.
