Spravato for Treatment Resistant Depression
“I really want people to know that even if oral antidepressants didn’t work for them, they should not give up.”
Why Spravato?
- If you’ve taken two or more oral antidepressants and still experience symptoms of depression, you might have treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
- It might be time to talk to your doctor about a different treatment approach. See what makes SPRAVATO® different and learn more about other patients’ experiences with SPRAVATO®.
Proven Effective for Treatment-Resistant Depression
- You may benefit from adding SPRAVATO® to your existing oral antidepressant if you’re an adult with major depressive disorder (MDD) who has had an inadequate response to two or more oral antidepressants, known as treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
- In a short-term study, more patients using SPRAVATO® plus oral antidepressant demonstrated rapid and superior reduction in depressive symptoms at four weeks compared to those who received placebo plus an oral antidepressant
- Most of the reduction in depressive symptoms was seen at 24 hours
- Between 24 hours and four weeks, both groups continued to improve; the difference in improvement between the groups remained but did not appear to increase through four weeks
Tolerability
- SPRAVATO® plus oral antidepressant offers a similar safety profile to previous trials with a minimal risk for weight gain and sexual dysfunction compared to placebo plus oral antidepressant
- Weight gain observed in patients using SPRAVATO® plus oral antidepressant was similar to patients taking placebo plus oral antidepressant
- Sexual dysfunction was not seen in more than 2% of patients in the SPRAVATO® clinical trials
“I am in a better place than I have been — maybe ever. I think that’s an amazing gift.”
