Ketamine Crystal

A dissociative anesthetic called ketamine is used in medicine to induce and sustain anesthesia. Additionally, it is used to control pain and treat depression. The majority of ketamine’s psychedelic effects are due to its NMDA receptor antagonistic nature.

Ketamine produces dissociative anesthesia, a trance-like state that relieves pain, promotes drowsiness, and causes forgetfulness at anesthetic dosages.Moderate bronchodilation, elevated blood pressure, and preserved breathing and airway reflexes are its unique anesthesiological characteristics.It is a promising treatment for pain and depression that is resistant to treatment at lower, sub-anesthetic dosages.The effects of a single dosage of an antidepressant diminish over time, as is the case with many of them.

Ketamine’s dissociative and hallucinogenic characteristics make it a popular recreational substance. Both liquid and crystalline powder forms are available for recreational use, and users frequently regard to it as “Special K” or just “K”. There is now much research being done on the long-term implications of frequent use.Regular users of large doses of ketamine for recreational purposes have been known to experience liver and urinary damage.

The use of ketamine in anesthesia reflects its characteristics. It is a drug of choice for short-term procedures when muscle relaxation is not required. The effect of ketamine on the respiratory and circulatory systems is different from that of other anesthetics. It suppresses breathing much less than most other available anesthetics.
