Ketamine Troches

Ketamine is a class III scheduled controlled substance and has been used for decades as a general anesthetic. In the past few years, Ketamine has been shown to be an effective treatment in patients with treatment-resistant depression, suicidal ideations, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, PTSD and certain neuropathic pain syndromes.

Unlike many of the traditional treatment methods that can take weeks or sometimes months to see the effects, ketamine troches onset of action is within 10-30mins, hence a shorter time to produce effects.

Oral Ketamine is commonly administered as a troche. A troche is a small lozenge designed to dissolve between a person’s cheek and gum over a period of time; typically 30 minutes. As the troche dissolves in the patient’s mouth, the medication is absorbed through the oral mucosa and gradually absorbs into the blood stream.
