Podcast 713: Oral Ketamine

Podcast 713: Oral Ketamine

Contributor: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Those on chronic opioid therapy may have high tolerance to opioids and/or opioid hyperalgesia
  • Ketamine is a good adjunct for pain control in patients on chronic opioid therapy
  • To avoid the time constraints often required to push ketamine intravenously, it can be given orally:
    • Ketamine IV 25-50 mg (~0.01-0.03 mg/kg) as a single dose by mouth
