Are you sure? That is a lot of ketamine
- fragmede 8y agoYou're right. An upper bound of $3/session is a better estimate. Dosing regimens for ketamine to treat depression are still being worked out, especially because that still considered an "off-label" use by the FDA. Using the upper bound of 0.75 mg/kg [0] and a person weighing (again, upper bound) 300 lb, I calculate 100 mg dose/session, which is roughly $3 of ketamine (when procured by a doctor).
