Ketamine | Vibepedia

Ketamine is a general anesthetic with analgesic, hallucinogenic, and antidepressant properties. It has been used medically for anesthesia, depression, and pain management, and its unique characteristics make it an essential tool in various medical fields. With a history of development, ketamine has evolved from an anesthetic agent to a treatment for treatment-resistant depression and other conditions. Its mechanism of action is reportedly complex, and it exists as two enantiomers, S- (esketamine) and R- (arketamine). As research continues to uncover its therapeutic potential, ketamine remains a tightly controlled substance due to its recreational use and potential for abuse.
