Untitled Slide

CPSBC & Ketamine

  • Spravato & the corporate agenda
  • Parenteral vs other forms
  • Very limited access to iv
  • Interim guidance for chronic pain and mood disorders.

Education Needed

  • Increase awareness of set and setting.
  • Standardize dosing and treatment
  • Help Colleges with safety data

My Questions

  • Separate pharmacology from psychotherapy
  • Do some benefits require psychedelic dosing?
  • The importance of hyperalgesia

Coffee to stay awake; for everything else there's KETAMINE
