Oral Ketamine

Oral ketamine is often used for:

• Anxiety
• Bipolar disorder
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Place the troche inside your mouth, positioning it in the cheek pocket or under your tongue.
• Allow the troche to dissolve under your tongue or in the gum (buccal) area, following your prescriber's instructions. Do not chew or swallow, as the troche will not be effective if swallowed.
• The troche typically takes about 10-15 minutes to dissolve and around 30 minutes for a dose to be fully absorbed.
•   We require that the patient not drive after the treatment and go home to rest.
