Product Description

50mg per ml ketamine injectable solution Ketamine is a medication primarily used for starting and maintaining anesthesia. It induces a trance-like state while providing pain relief, sedation, and memory loss. Other uses include for chronic pain and for sedation in intensive care. It is given by injection into a muscle or vein. Ketamine acts primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist, meaning it blocks the action of the neurotransmitter glutamate at these receptors. This mechanism contributes to its anesthetic and analgesic effects. Additionally, ketamine has been found to interact with other receptors in the brain, including opioid receptors, which may contribute to its pain-relieving properties. Its unique ability to induce dissociation and alter perception has also led to its use as a recreational drug, leading to its classification as a controlled substance in many countries. When used for anesthesia, ketamine is often combined with a sedative to help manage its hallucinogenic effects. It's important to note that ketamine should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional, as misuse can lead to serious health consequences.
