What is Ketamine?

Ketamine has been used in hospitals for the past 50 years mostly during surgery in children, adults, and even animals as an anesthetic.

The low dosage has shown incredible results for patients. The doses vary depending on the patient.

How many infusions will I need?

The typical regiment is 6 infusions. Mood disorder infusions last approximately 50 minutes. Chronic pain patients could need more than 6 infusions and each infusion range from 2-3 hours. After the initial treatment infusions, patients may need booster infusions.
