The FDA has received reports of people getting hurt after taking at-home ketamine for mental health issues without medical supervision.
The Food and Drug Administration is warning people to stay away from unapproved sources of ketamine. According to the agency, compounded ketamine is increasingly being sold as a treatment for depression and other mental health issues, despite it not being tested or authorized for such uses. The FDA also says it is continuing to receive reports of people possibly being harmed by these products.
The alert referenced several adverse event reports of people taking nasal spray formulations of compounded ketamine at home. These products are often being marketed and sold through telemedicine companies, the agency added. In its latest warning, released Tuesday, the FDA notes that compounded ketamine is now being sold in sublingual and oral forms for depression.
