Ketamine, a medication originally utilized for anesthesia, has gained recognition for its growing popularity in chronic pain, depression, and various psychiatric disorders. Traditionally administered via IV or injection at specialized clinics, this approach required patients to visit healthcare facilities, presenting logistical and financial hurdles. However, the recent advancements in medical science paved the way for alternative forms of ketamine administration, enabling patients to receive their therapies conveniently at home.
Morgan Compounding Pharmacy stands as Georgia’s trusted ketamine compounding pharmacy, leading the way in this innovative shift. We specialize in crafting a range of ketamine formulations in order to meet the unique needs of each patient, thereby enhancing accessibility and convenience.
Here are seven alternative ketamine delivery methods we offer, moving beyond traditional IVs and injections:
Ketamine Suppositories: For patients with gastrointestinal sensitivities or those who prefer not to take medication orally, suppositories provide rapid absorption through the rectal mucosa, offering quick symptom relief.
Ketamine Capsules: An easy option for those who are comfortable with oral administration. Capsules are designed to ensure effective absorption of ketamine through the digestive system.
Ketamine Transdermal Lipoderm Creams: Tailored for direct application on the skin, these creams allow for ketamine to be absorbed transdermally, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract entirely. This method is ideal for patients seeking localized relief or those with digestive concerns.
Ketamine Sublingual Solution/Suspension: Placed under the tongue, this solution or suspension facilitates rapid absorption directly into the bloodstream, circumventing the digestive system.
Ketamine Rapid Dissolve Tablet: Designed to dissolve swiftly under the tongue, this tablet offers ease of use and a faster onset of action by avoiding the gastrointestinal route.
Ketamine Troche: A slowly dissolving lozenge for the mouth, providing a prolonged release of medication for sustained relief, beneficial for patients requiring gradual absorption.
Ketamine Nasal Spray: A cutting-edge method delivering ketamine through the nasal passages, ensuring rapid entry into the bloodstream. This approach is both straightforward and effective, becoming a favored choice among patients.
