My husband is prescribed 100mg Ketamine capsules for pain management. We have to have the script filled at a compounding pharmacy each month. I always laugh at how sketchy the capsules look because they are these tiny little white capsules with no stamp or markings on them.
When I asked the pharmacist why they weren’t stamped, he told me because it isn’t approved by the FDA for the reasons dr’s are prescribing it (pain management and depression) and because compounding pharmacies don’t keep an excess of the already powder form laying around (they have to compound liquid to powder with each script they fill) and because they are not mass producing it they don’t have to stamp or imprint their capsules or pills. Oh and Also because of FDA law “Big Pharma” does not make, market or sell Ketamine powder to pharmacies. By law they are only allowed to sell compounding pharmacies ketamine in liquid form. (Sorry if this is a jumbled mess. I’m towards the end of a 16 hour shift)
I’m not Saying because of my explanation you should count on those pills being actual ketamine. Before you take them you need to think about how much you trust the person you got them from if you did not get them straight from the Pharmacist himself. If it were me I wouldn’t even take them because it seems sketchy and you don’t seem 100% sure that it is what you were told, but if you feel you must take them start with a small dose and work your way up.
The nice (or not so nice) thing about Ketamine is that even taken orally it doesn’t take nearly as long as an oxy or a hydrocodone to kick in. With 200mg daily use for almost 2 years now my husband says his dose still kicks in right around 20min after taking it.
Be safe
