That’s what ketamine is
Ketamine, developed in the 1960s from phencyclidine, was approved as an anesthetic in the United States in 1970. Ketamine stimulates blood circulation and does not depress the respiratory system, which is why it is considered safe. When dosed correctly, it is quite safe as an anesthetic. In the treatment of pain, its use began to increase in the 1990s.
Under medication ketamine is administered as a solution into a vein. Other dosing routes have also been studied. It is also possible to mix ketamine solution with water or other drinkable liquid. However, the use of oral ketamine is limited by its low bioavailability. Taking it as a nasal spray has also been studied.
The most common side effects of ketamine are increased salivation, hallucinations, nightmares, nausea and vomiting
In drug use, ketamine is often inhaled, taken as a powder in the nose or injected into a muscle. Adverse effects are found in ketamine abusers. Correspondingly, adverse effects do not occur in medical use.
Long-term use of ketamine in high doses causes urinary tract problems, such as increased need to urinate, pain when urinating and hematuria. Ketamine is also used to tranquilize animals.
