Low Dose Treatments
The safety profile of Ketamine Infusion Therapy for treating psychiatric disorders is very high because the therapy involves very low doses of ketamine. The average dose of ketamine in this therapy may be only about one-fourth of what is generally administered to a patient during general anesthesia prior to a surgery.
As a result, ketamine can be delivered through IV in an office setting, and the patient can return home after the treatment without having to undergo significant downtime. Side effects of this therapy are negligible compared to what a patient under general anesthesia will go through for a few hours after the surgery is completed.
Low dose ketamine infusions are typically prescribed to treat depression, anxiety and other mood disorders if the patient has not achieved successful outcomes to other forms of treatment. Ketamine treatment can provide successful results even where the patient has previous tried multiple other treatments or has been labeled as treatment resistant. In some cases, ketamine may be used against depression even as an early line of defense.
Advantage Over Antidepressants
With traditional antidepressant drugs, the patient may have to wait for weeks or months before the drug reaches therapeutic levels and provides relief. Even then, there is no assurance that sufficient relief will be obtained against depression. Ketamine Infusion Therapy, on the other hand, produces rapid relief, sometimes within a few hours.
By the second treatment session, most patients will be able to tell whether they have achieved considerable relief against their condition and whether the treatment is working. Dr. Mandel receives patients from Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Orange County, California, and other suburbs and towns in this area of The Golden State for ketamine infusion treatments.
