Custom Compounded Ketamine Nasal Spray

In accordance with pharmaceutical guidelines, nasal sprays are classified as non-sterile topical preparations. Our compounding pharmacy prepares every batch of Ketamine Nasal Spray inside a highly controlled, state-of-the-art laboratory that strictly adheres to USP <795> regulations for non-sterile compounding.

• Active Ingredient: High-purity Ketamine Hydrochloride.
• Preparation Type: Non-Sterile Nasal Solution (dispensed in a metered-dose atomizing spray bottle).
• Custom Formulations: Prepared in precise, individualized concentrations matching your provider’s exact milligrams-per-spray instructions.
• Quality Controls: Every solution is meticulously pH-balanced to minimize nasal irritation and compounded with validated antimicrobial preservatives to maintain microbiological safety, stability, and product integrity throughout its use.

Ketamine operates differently than traditional serotonin- or norepinephrine-based therapies. It manages symptoms through unique neurological mechanisms:

• NMDA Receptor Blockade: It binds to and blocks NMDA receptors in the brain. This action triggers a rapid surge in the release of a crucial neurotransmitter called glutamate.
• Promoting Synaptic Plasticity: The glutamate surge activates pathways that stimulate the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). This process helps repair and rebuild damaged neural connections (synapses) in areas of the brain affected by chronic stress, depression, or pain signaling.
• Rapid Vascular Uptake: By utilizing the dense capillary network within the nasal passages, the medication enters the bloodstream quickly, offering a fast onset of action compared to oral alternatives.

Due to its profound neurological effects, Ketamine Nasal Spray is a strictly controlled prescription medication that requires careful compliance and clinical oversight.

• Administration Directives: Administer only under the specific guidance and protocol established by your prescribing physician. Clear the nasal passages before use, insert the metered nozzle, and sniff gently while depressing the pump.
• Monitoring and Supervision: Ketamine can cause temporary, transient elevations in blood pressure and heart rate. It can also induce short-term cognitive distortions, mild dissociation (a feeling of detachment), or drowsiness. For these reasons, patients are typically advised to use the medication in a clinical setting or under the direct supervision of a designated caregiver.
• Post-Dose Restrictions: Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or participate in hazardous activities for at least 24 hours after administering your dose, or until you have slept a full night.

What does “non-sterile” mean for a nasal spray?

Medications that are applied to mucous membranes like the nose or mouth do not require the absolute sterile compounding needed for injections or eye drops. However, “non-sterile” does not mean unhygienic. Our pharmacy utilizes high-purity raw ingredients and compounds the spray under rigorous USP <795> quality controls, adding specific antimicrobial agents to keep the solution clean and free of harmful microbial growth.

Can I use this spray if I have a cold or sinus congestion?

Severe nasal congestion, allergies, or an active sinus infection can significantly block the nasal lining, preventing the medication from absorbing correctly. Contact your prescribing physician if you experience nasal inflammation, as your treatment schedule may need to be temporarily paused.

Do you ship this compounded spray outside of Texas?

No. To maintain strict alignment with the Texas State Board of Pharmacy licensing rules and federal controlled substance mandates, we fulfill, verify, and ship all compounded Ketamine prescriptions exclusively to patient addresses located inside the state of Texas.
