Sublingual Ketamine Lozenges – $275 per In-Office Session, with Monthly At-Home Administration Options
What Is Sublingual Ketamine Lozenges Therapy?
Sublingual Ketamine Lozenges are an innovative, non-invasive treatment where ketamine is absorbed through the tissues under the tongue. This administration route allows for relatively rapid absorption into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive tract, and offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to injections or IVs.
Why Choose Sublingual Lozenges Therapy?
- Convenient & Comfortable: No needles or nasal sprays—simply dissolve the lozenge under your tongue in a clinical setting.
- Fast Absorption: The lozenge allows ketamine to enter the bloodstream efficiently via richly vascularized sublingual tissues.
- Flexible At-Home Use: After an initial in-office session, lozenges can be administered at home once a monthly plan is in place.
Conditions Treated with Sublingual Ketamine Lozenges
Used clinically to address treatment-resistant conditions, including:
- Depression (including treatment-resistant and postpartum)
- Anxiety disorders (such as social anxiety or generalized anxiety)
- PTSD
- OCD
- Suicidal ideation or thoughts
Session Details & Pricing
- Service: Sublingual Ketamine Lozenges (in-office session)
- Price: $275 per session
- Administration: Patients dissolve the lozenge under supervision; monthly home delivery options are available for continued care.
Note: Patients should abstain from food for at least 4 hours beforehand and arrange transportation post-session due to possible grogginess or dream-like sensations.
What to Expect During Your Visit
- Before Your Session: Little to no preparation is required, just arrive for your appointment.
- During Your Session: The lozenge is placed under the tongue and dissolved; absorption begins in approximately 15–20 minutes, peaks around 40 minutes, and gradually diminishes over the next 1–2 hours.
- Aftercare: Side effects may include mild dissociation, dizziness, or drowsiness. Patients are monitored briefly after application before being permitted to leave.
Personalization & Treatment Timeline
- Tailored Protocols: Treatment plans are customized based on patient needs, especially when transitioning to at-home administration.
- Effect Duration: Benefits can last for days to weeks, making monthly dosing a practical regimen.
Why This Service Stands Out
- Cost-Effective & Accessible: At $275 per session, it offers a competitively priced, clinician-guided alternative.
- Non-Invasive & Practical: Ideal for patients who prefer avoiding needles and value discretion.
- Supports Ongoing Treatment: The monthly at-home lozenge option provides continuity of care beyond clinic visits.
