How it works

KETALAR, a racemic mixture of ketamine, is a non-selective, non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, an ionotropic glutamate receptor. The major circulating metabolite of ketamine (norketamine) demonstrated activity at the same receptor with less affinity.

Common side effects

The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hemodynamic Instability Emergence Reactions Respiratory Depression Pediatric Neurotoxicity Drug-Induced Liver Injury The following adverse reactions associated with the use of KETALAR were identified in clinical studies or postmarketing reports.

Do not use if (contraindications)

is contraindicated in patients for whom a significant elevation of blood pressure would constitute a serious hazard. KETALAR is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketamine or to any excipient.

Pregnancy & breastfeeding
