Default Prep for Low dose ketamine infusion
My dr. office is such a mess sometimes. No one gave me prep instructions for my low dose ketamine infusion that starts tommorow at 9am!

does anyone know if I have to be NPO? No food or drink?

I'm so scared I'm gonna show up and they will send me home.

Thanks
Dianna

Default Ketamine
I had the low dose ketamine for 5 days- I cant really remember any restrictions. You might want to be NPO for 12 hours just in case- I was able to eat during the infusion but I dont think I ate much!

I have answered your PM Dianna, hopefully not too late but there is NO prep needed for a Ketamine Infusion.
Good luck with it
