A REMS is a strategy to manage known or potential risks associated with a drug and is required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that the benefits of the drug outweigh its risks.
SPRAVATO® (esketamine) nasal spray CIII is available only through a restricted distribution program called the SPRAVATO® REMS because of the risks of serious adverse outcomes resulting from sedation and dissociation caused by SPRAVATO administration, and abuse and misuse of SPRAVATO. SPRAVATO® is intended for use only in a certified Healthcare Setting.
SPRAVATO® is intended for patient administration under the direct observation of a healthcare provider, and patients are required to be monitored by a healthcare provider for at least 2 hours. SPRAVATO® must never be dispensed directly to a patient for home use.
