The use of ketamine for intravenous infusion at our clinic is discussed in the preceding pages and is in our opinion the most effective option for the initiation of treatment in most cases.  However, in addition to using ketamine as an intravenous infusion treatment, we are also able to prescribe ketamine in the form of a sublingual lozenge from our local compounding pharmacist.

While compounded ketamine lozenge is less expensive per dose and can be more convenient for patients to receive, often times the effect of ketamine that can be achieved through the sub lingual route is not as robust as seen with the intravenous route.
