Johnson & Johnson has announced the FDA’s approval of a first-of-its-kind, esketamine nasal spray called Spravato for the standalone treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), PTSD, and similar psychiatric conditions.

People with treatment-resistant depression can now take Spravato's ketamine-derived nasal spray as a standalone treatment.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved the nasal spray Spravato for the treatment of major depression in people who have not responded to at least two oral antidepressants.

CIII allows people who have tried at least two oral antidepressants to use the spray on its own – without the need for more medication.
