Ketamine Injection
€200.00 – €1,350.00
Ketamine injection is a dissociative anesthetic used primarily in medical settings for anesthesia induction and sedation. It is also utilized as a pain management option and has been investigated for its antidepressant effects in recent years. Ketamine works by blocking NMDA receptors in the brain, leading to analgesia (pain relief), sedation, and dissociation from reality. Despite its use in medical and veterinary settings, it is also misused recreationally for its hallucinogenic effects and has a potential for abuse.
