Ketamine is a medication that is derived from phenylketonine, an amino acid found in the body. It works by blocking certain receptors in the brain that are involved in the perception of pain. Ketamine is typically used along with other medications, such as opioids and benzodiazepines, for more effective pain relief. Other uses for ketamine include anesthetic properties and treating certain mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety and PTSD. The most common side effects of ketamine are dizziness, nausea and headache.
