How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Ketamine 50 mg Slow Release Capsules are a specialized medication designed to treat a range of conditions including depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The unique formulation of these capsules incorporates Methocel E4M, a controlled-release polymer, which ensures a gradual and sustained release of the active ingredient, ketamine, over an extended period. This slow release mechanism provides a consistent therapeutic effect, reducing the need for frequent dosing and enhancing patient compliance.

The capsules are administered orally, typically once a day, and should be consumed with food. It is crucial to adhere to the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider, avoiding any deviation from the recommended amount. Ketamine functions by inhibiting certain receptors in the brain, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. It also mitigates the severity of PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks and nightmares. The slow release formulation ensures a steady concentration of the medication in the body, minimizing the likelihood of side effects.

Common side effects associated with ketamine include dizziness, nausea, headache, and confusion. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult your doctor as they may need to adjust your dosage or consider an alternative medication. It is also crucial to be cognizant of the potential for abuse and addiction associated with ketamine, and to strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding Ketamine 50 mg Slow Release Capsules, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are committed to helping you understand the workings of this medication and how it can assist in managing your symptoms.
